Research Interests
In my research, I think about complex risks in the environment and how to measure them. Most recently, I've been studying the hazardous residues released into water resources during wildfire. The animation depicts an analysis of the mobility and toxicity of PAH biotransformation products with increasing reaction depth (blue to yellow). Previously, my work focused on improving wastewater-based surveillance through analysis of collected datasets.
Teaching Interests
I'm passionate about using innovative teaching methods to foster mastery-orientation and collaborative learning in the classroom. I am especially interested in game-based and project-based learning styles. The video shows a game I developed to help students understand photosynthesis by exploring the interplay between light-dependent and light-independent reactions. I've served as a TA for graduate and undergraduate courses in Environmental Microbiology (CVEN 4484/5484), Water Chemistry (CVEN 4404), and Environmental Organic Chemistry (CVEN 4424).
