Expertise: My research focuses on the removal of emerging contaminants and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) that typically persist after wastewater treatment by implementing a combination of conventional and low-impact methods; specifically advanced oxidation and engineered natural systems (i.e. constructed wetlands) that harness the abilities of microorganisms to degrade these types of contaminants. Health risks associated with different types of treatment (i.e. impacts on estrogenicity and toxicity) are also explored.
