Research Interests 

Investigation of methods to reduce the volume of waste effluent by implementation of intermediate waste management procedures.

Combining chemical and environmental engineering techniques for hazardous waste handling and disposal.

Treatment of hazardous wastes removed from soil and aqueous systems. Implementing both chemical and physical methods of treatment based on experimental design.

The use of surfactants and cosolvents in contaminated site remediation applications.

Delineation and remediation of contaminated hazardous waste sites.Focusing upon petroleum derivative fuel contaminants and chlorinated compound contaminants.

Soil contaminant delineation and treatment. Inclusion of soil vapor equipment and gas chromatographic techniques for contaminant identification and quantification prior to and after removal for remedial purposes.

Water analysis for treatment and removal of contamination using gas chromatographic techniques.

Subsurface remedial techniques including in-situ flushing in which surfactant and/or cosolvent mixtures are incorporated; soil vapor extraction; and other pump and treat remediation applications

Additional interests: air transport of contaminants; mobility of contaminants between gas, aqueous, and soil phases; in-situ remediation techniques; in-situ vitrification; and chemical oxidation and degradation applications.
