Research
I am broadly interested in studying molecular mechanisms relevant to water treatment and source water protection. Most of my research experience is in water purification membranes and I am currently studying membranes for wastewater reuse. A new research area for me is to explore the merits of ecological sanitation and source separation as an alternative to conventional centralized waste management, particularly for producing soil amendments. I am interested in how changes to soil structure and nutrient interactions in amended soils impact nutrient leaching.
