What questions are you trying to answer with your research?
My research group (GMAS Lab - Green Microextraction Analytical Solutions Laboratory) strives to develop high precision methods to measure environmental contaminants and elucidate their accumulation mechanisms in living systems.
What drew you to your field of study?
I am interested in finding links between environmental contamination and diseases thus my research aims to find solutions for measuring small molecules and how they travel in the environment to humans and wildlife.
What do you like to do to relax?
I like gardening and taking long walks in nature, I practice martial arts to release stress and feel grounded.
