Ph.D., 1992, University of South Carolina 
M.S., 1988, University of North Carolina at Wilmington


Research Interests

  • environmental and marine chemistry
  • analytical methods for biological molecules and contaminants
  • pollutant bioaccumulation and biomagnification in marine organisms
  • contaminants of emerging concern
  • marine organisms as indicators of pollution

Current and planned research projects

  • linking exposure in marine organisms to health effects
  • understanding if and why chemical contaminant concentrations are going up or down in the marine environment
  • developing non targeted mass spectrometry techniques to assess the exposome
  • bioaccumulation and new pollutants in marine organisms
