Research Interests:
I am interested in chemical and biological contaminants in atmospheric and aquatic environments.
I am also interested in environmental and public health related to sustainable engineering systems, including water treatment processes and energy systems.
Research Project: Currently I am working with Mira Chaplin on a systematic review to collect data on chloramine, chlorine dioxide, and peracetic acid inactivation of viruses. I am also working on laboratory experiments to measure virus inactivation kinetics with UV254 and chlorine.
