My research focus contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms of interaction between emerging and persistent pollutants (such as microplastics and plastics, nanoparticles, PAHs, PFAS, heavy metals), climate change, and their subsequent impact on aquatic ecosystems, food safety, and human health. I conduct field, laboratory, and lab-in-the-field experiments, develop analytical methods and analyze data generated to better understand the mechanism of action and impacts of emerging and persistent pollutants on ecosystems and generate insights to inform decision-making in public policy and management.
