Areas of Specialization: Physical Chemistry/ Environmental Science

Research Interests:

• Applications of colloid chemistry in environmental sciences and industrial process control; colloid-facilitated transport of pollutants in unsaturated porous media.
• Physical Chemistry: experimental, computational, and theoretical
• Legacy and emerging chemicals including Persistent Organic Pollutants; environmental properties that influence pesticide movement under different conditions, Sorption/desorption, degradation, bio-remediation and modeling fate in the environment.
• Has also trained in: environmental impact assessment; environment management/navigation; cleaner production technology; laboratory management; development of sustainable chemical processes for production of biofuels and bio-based chemicals from agricultural waste and non-food biomass.
