Research Interests

Currently, I have three research projects:

1. Improving the effectiveness and efficiency of wastewater remediation of heavy metals using a “bubble column” apparatus.
2. Using a technique called Surface-Enhanced Resonance Raman Scattering (SERRS) to study the molecule copper chlorophyllin, a derivative of chlorophyll.
3. Using the bubble column to purify biodiesel which is derived from waste vegetable oil. This work relates to climate change by reducing our dependence on fossil fuel.
