Research Interests

My research focuses on measuring the: 1) decline in nitroarene solubility due to the presence of salts (salting-out);  2) photolysis of nitroarenes in seawater; 3) enhancement in solubility of nitroarenes in surfactant solutions (micellar solubilization); and 4) physical properties of alternative fuels (biodiesel and Fischer Tropsch Fuels) such as density, surface tension, and interfacial tension with pure water and seawater systems.
