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.

Our lab will be at #ACSFall2026 in Chicago.
We are especially excited to see Angelica, a PhD student, present the research at her first ACS conference. I invite you to stop by and support her presentation. If you will be attending ACS Fall, I would be happy to connect. Just send me a message!
