Our research is in the general area of Environmental Geochemistry.
We are particularly interested in redox reactions at mineral-water
interfaces such as those shown in the images above. We investigate
the kinetics of both surface redox reactions and adsorption
processes using a variety of experimental approaches including
Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and
isotope tracer studies. Current projects are focused electron
transfer reactions on Fe oxides, clays, and fate of aresnic
and uranium during Fe2+ catalyzed recry stallization.
We are always looking for motivated graduate students to join our group. Students joining our group come from diverse backgrounds including, but not limited to, engineering, chemistry, environmental science, geology, or physics. If you would like to learn more about what specific projects we have available, please contact me.

Fe(II)-Fe(III) electron transfer see the following youtube
