Research Interests

My research interests include sulfur biogeochemical cycling and sediment diagenesis. I emphasize the interaction of the biology and the chemistry throughout my work. My research has focused on both the inorganic sulfur cycle as well as volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs). I am interested in fluxes at the sediment-water interface and processes of the inorganic sulfur cycle as well as air-water exchange of VOSCs.
