Areas of Interest

His research interests fall broadly in two areas: Bioelectronics Applications for Detection Systems and Bioprocess Applications for Aerobic and Anaerobic Treatment of Wastewater, Waste, Soil Remediation. His research interests blur the disciplinary boundaries among molecular-scale phenomena, electrochemistry, and bioprocess engineering. At this interface, the development and deployment of state-of-the-art environmental sensors provide a virtually endless supply of new information about environmental processes on a fundamental, nano scale to either make it more operationally efficient and/or improve water quality monitoring.
