Personal profile
Research Interests
My research interests lie in the areas of contaminant fate, transport, and remediation. I am particularly interested in aggressive remediation technologies for contaminated soils and emerging contaminants in the environment such as fire retardants and other micropollutants.
Teaching Interests
Current Teaching: Contaminated Land, Pollution & Rehabilitation of Degraded Ecosystems, Chemistry & Materials Science
Past Teaching: Statistics & Model Analysis, Water & Wastewater Treatment Design
Education/Academic qualification
Doctor of Philosophy, Rutgers University
Master of Science, Rutgers University
Bachelor of Science, Johns Hopkins University
Keywords
- contaminated soils
