What is the goal of your research?
The goal of my research is to improve in situ bioremediation methods for the treatment of PAH contaminated sites. I am developing both laboratory scale and computational models to predict the efficacy of bio-amendments on PAH contaminated sediments.
What excites you about Superfund research?
I love being able to learn something new every day. Superfund research provides the opportunity to collaborate with and learn about other disciplines.
As a scientist, what do you hope your research helps accomplish?
I want to improve our ability to treat contaminated sites so that they can be restored as a healthy place for life to thrive.
What was an interest or experience you had that contributed to your decision to become a scientist?
In undergrad, I realized that I wanted to discover new knowledge rather than simply applying what others had learned.
What are your career goals?
Government or private industry
What are your hobbies? What do you like to do when you aren’t doing science?
In my free time I play music and hike.
