About

Currently, involving in the development of engineered nanoparticles, their fate and transport under varied aquifer systems along with applicability as in-situ remediation material (PRB's and Direct Injection) for arsenic sequestration. The majority of work involving the (1) understanding of bio-geo-chemical interactions occurring when pollutants migrate into groundwater systems and (2) developing remediation strategies. This research focuses on advancing the fundamental understanding and scope of in-situ ART's (Arsenic Removal Techniques).
