Research Interests

 

Surface Analysis: Determination of the coprecipitation and adsorption reaction mechanisms of metals and oxyanions on synthetic and natural surfaces such as metal oxides and clay minerals; use of extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy for elucidation of the structure of metal ion surface complexes;  surface imaging by SEM with elemental analysis by EDAX; heterogeneous redox reactions of As, Cr, and Se at mineral surfaces;  application of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to corrosion and adsorption reactions in environmental remdiation.
