Research Overview & Focus

The researcher's overall research focus encompasses the study of environmental impacts from both human and natural perspectives. This includes examining the effects of substances like antimicrobial agents on public health through surface water chemistry, PFAS concentrations in human populations over time, malaria control strategies using riboflavin and UV light, plant morphology variations influenced by environmental factors, nanoparticle applications in materials science with a focus on microbial communities and water quality, and fecal contamination studies linking chemical exposure to water systems.
