Research LabTransformation of Organic Micropollutants
Our research focuses on understanding the fate of organic contaminants in aquatic environments. We examine how the transformation processes of priority organic contaminants affect ecosystems and human health. We characterize the mechanisms of phototransformation and biodegradation in surface water. Our approach combines laboratory experiments, field studies, and toxicological assessments to develop strategies for preserving water reservoirs for drinking and agricultural use.

Our Approach
Advancing environmental chemistry research for a sustainable future
Our approach combines laboratory experiments, field studies, and toxicological assessments to develop strategies for preserving water reservoirs.
Join Our Lab →Laboratory Experiments
We characterize the mechanisms of phototransformation and biodegradation in surface water using simulated laboratory experiments with UVA-visible wavelength light sources.
Field Studies
We deploy passive samplers in lakes and rivers, evaluating contaminant profiles and concentrations over space and time to monitor transformation processes in real environments.
Toxicological Assessments
Our approach combines environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology, and machine learning to develop strategies for preserving water reservoirs for drinking and agricultural use.

Wrapping up #ACSFall2026 in Chicago!
What a great week filled with inspiring research talks, interesting discussions, new and old connections. It was great to meet you all! We leave ACS with new ideas, questions, and motivation for the research ahead. This conference was especially meaningful for our group because it marked the first ACS presentation for one of our students, Angelica. Great job, Angelica! It was wonderful to see her share her research and experience her first major chemistry conference. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and exchanged ideas. Until the next ACS! 🧪🌎
