Research & Clinical Interests
I am interested in studying how man-made chemicals of health concern travel through and accumulate within urban aquatic ecosystems. I’m also interested in evaluating the health concerns of industrial chemicals that reside in everyday consumer products and apparel. More recently, my research has shifted to focus on how innovative learning spaces can optimize active and collaboratively teaching and learning pedagogies.
