Research Interests:
Our research in Environmental & Soil Chemistry focuses on the protection of our environment through maintaining/improving soil and water quality. Particular interests include:
(1) environmental behavior and agricultural application of engineered nanomaterials
(2) interactions between organic compounds and natural organic matter/mineral particles
(3) interfacial processes
(4) characterization and use of natural organic matter and biochar
(5) application of spectroscopic and analytical instruments in soil & environmental science research.
Representative Publications:
Over 470 refereed journal articles and five books.
