Research/Professional Interests
My areas of interest include environmental chemistry; quantifying
the sources, concentrations and fates of nutrients, carcinogens,
endocrine disruptors, and toxic compounds in the atmosphere, water,
and soils. These studies employ both field sampling and various
advanced analytical methods such as GC/MS, UV-VIS, and NMR.
