B.S. Biology with Honors, 2016
Research Interests:
geomicrobiology, bioremediation, organic chemistry
Overview:
My current research focuses on microbial degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), 1,4-dioxane, and investigating potential microbially-driven degradation of perfluorocarbon (PFC) compounds. In the past I have investigated the genetic mechanisms of Shewanella oneidensis to perform dissimilatory iodate reduction. Both projects have applications for bioremediation of contaminated soils and groundwater.
