Research Interests

Research Themes

Primarily focused on low temperature aqueous geochemistry and microbial geochemistry, with emphasis on trace element speciation and cycling of trace elements in the environment. Recent research work also focuses on environmental effects of urbanization, water resource management, water quality issues, sustainable groundwater management, climate change adaption and mitigation, bioremediation techniques, waste (construction and demolition, industrial and household) management and recycling, landslide prediction. Research work is based on both field and laboratory studies.
