I am part of the faculty of the Department of Environmental Health in Harvard’s School of Public Health. Click here: Aquatic Chemistry Modeling Group for more information about my research group and Publications for a list of recent papers.


I also co-lead Harvard’s Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.


I am interested in the interactions between the biogeochemistry of marine ecosystems, cycling and fate of heavy metals and organic contaminants, and human exposures and risks.  My research develops models at a variety of scales ranging from ecosystems to global applications that characterize the impacts of past and future change in climate and human emissions of contaminants of human and ecological health.
