Current Research
NNSA: Investigation of the fate and transport of contaminants in the environment. Specifically, this research involves the development of mathematical models and methodologies to model biodegradation of contaminants in surface water, streams and groundwater.
Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC): Conducting research regarding the characterization of Tennessee's solid waste stream. The specific project involved the development of statistical methodologies for to be used in a statewide solid waste study.
The Y-12 National Security Complex, Oak Ridge, TN, Y12:Development of methodologies to treat waste steams at Y12 facility in Oak Ridge.
