Educational Background
Biography
I hold a B.S. degree in Chemistry from Virginia Tech and a M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Chemical and Environmental Engineering from Yale University. Prior to joining Utah State University, I studied pollutant transformation in aquatic environments as an ETH Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Institute of Biogeochemistry and Pollutant Dynamics at ETH Zurich.
Teaching Interests
Chemical processes in environmental engineering, drinking water treatment, environmental chemistry
Research Interests
An underlying theme in my work is applying chemistry principles to tackle environmental challenges. This includes developing new treatment technologies and understanding pollutant degradation pathways in both natural and engineered systems. Specific research interests include: aquatic photochemistry, laser spectroscopy, advanced oxidation processes, plastic degradation in the environment, and the fate of contaminants.
