Water quality is central to the health and well-being of the warfighter and it is an essential focus of the environmental stewardship activities of the DOD. We are interested in novel biological and abiotic processes that can destroy or detect dangerous chemicals. Projects typically combine traditional research approaches, such as mathematical modeling and laboratory-scale experimentation, with the modern tools from bio- and organic chemistry, and research based on this combination uncovers knowledge and provides exciting opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.
