Research Interests

• Mathematical and experimental models for assessing transport, transformation and persistence of contaminants in the environment.
• Organics trapped and sorbed in soils as a source zone of groundwater contamination.
• Physical and biological factors that control bioremediation of contaminated plumes in groundwater.
• Water balance modeling to quantify ground water - surface water interactions.
• Emerging contaminants, specifically evaluating the persistence of heavy-metals in mining environments and predicting antibiotics transport in soils.
