Research Interests

My research interests broadly consist of utilizing elemental and isotopic analyses of multiple substrates (gas, rock, and water) to address fundamental questions of fluid and solute transport, biogeochemistry of solutes and radionuclides, microbial processes, and diagenetically induced water-rock reactions in subsurface environments.
