Research Interests :
Natural and anthropogenic processes such as biogeochemical cycles,
mineral
dissolution, activities related to industry, mining, and nuclear energy
introduce a variety chemical species into the environment. Many
processes
involving microorganisms, mineral surfaces, and aqueous complexation
reactions influence the migration of these species through the
environment.
To have a better understanding how these processes affect water
quality,
contaminant migration, and remediation efforts I combine
interdisciplinary
techniques from microbiology, low temperature aqueous geochemistry,
physical
chemistry, and thermodynamic modeling to get a quantitative
understanding of
the processes affecting the movement of chemical species through the
environment.
