My general research interests involve the fate and transport of contaminants in natural and engineered environmental systems. These interests include equilibria and mass transfer issues associated with adsorption/desorption, dissolution and volatilization of contaminants in soils, sediments, groundwater and in the context of physical, chemical and biological processes. My research comprises both experimental and computational aspects. Specific
current research topics include the following: (1) Applying networked
sensing to environmental monitoring problems (see
more). Measuring and modeling dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL)
dissolution rates; (2) Assessing source zones using inverse modeling;
(3) Demonstrating an in situ thermal desorption process for the removing
semi- and nonvolatile organic contaminants from soils, (4) Developing
environmental instructional software using multimedia and interactive
database software. For more details and contacts on these projects, check
