Research:  My research examines the speciation, distribution, and bioavailability of                             metals in pristine and contaminated environments.  I am specifically                                 interested in mineral surface chemistry and the role that microorganisms                         play in shaping the transport and fate of metals.  I specialize in                                         synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
