BACKGROUND:

Experience in chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, biotechnology, biosorption, biokinetics, bioseparations, and enhanced oil recovery.

 RESEARCH PROJECTS:

bulletDevelopment of biogeochemical acid mine drainage mathematical models in collaboration with Chevron Mining Inc. that describe humidity cell experiments and actual waste rock dump sites.
bulletInvestigating the multicomponent adsorption of heavy metals from waste waters using immobilized biomass beads. Development of multicomponent mathematical models describing batch adsorption and column operation.
bulletDevelopment and modeling of an improved system for the oxygenation of anchorage-dependent mammalian cells using perfluorocarbons and perfluoroalkylated proteins.

OTHER AREAS OF INTEREST:
bulletSupercritical fluid extraction of plants
bulletRemoval of Selenium from wastewaters using a redox process
bulletMeasurement of high osmotic pressures
bulletEnhanced oil recovery - principally polymer flooding and alkaline flooding
