Graduate Students - future, present & past
I am always looking for strong, motivated graduate students who are interested my research areas. If you're looking for a program, start by meeting some of the current and past students from my group.

My ultimate goal is to analyze the potential of different groundwater tracer materials to act as surrogate tracers for contaminants in karst. Specifically, my research focuses on the interactions of polystyrene microspheres with karst sediments and minerals and describing microsphere transport through karst aquifers via field experiments.
