Research Interests
- Explore the thermodynamic behavior of legacy and emerging hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) across multimedia aquatic environments.
- Design and optimize identical silicone-based chemometers for passive equilibrium sampling to study HOCs across water, sediment, and biota in aquatic ecosystems.
- Develop automated sampling techniques for homogenized biological samples to enhance efficiency, reliability, and broader application in large-scale environmental projects.
- Investigate equilibrium partitioning of HOCs in water to achieve precise and direct measurements of freely dissolved concentrations, aiming for a "gold standard" in water quality assessment.
