Ph.D. Student. M.S. Geology University of Maryland. My research is directed to understand the role of organic matter fractions for fate and transport of emerging organic micropollutants during riverbank filtration (RBF) and soil-aquifer treatment (SAT). I am currently exploring appropriate methods I can employ for organic matter characterization using size-exclusion chromatography with DOC and UV detection as well as fluorescence spectroscopy. This research is funded by the City of Aurora and Awwa Research Foundation. My faculty advisor is Professor Drewes.
