I am a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences (EEES) at Clemson University. I hold a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering and Science from the University of Bordeaux, France (2014), with a specialization in environmental geochemistry.

My research explores geochemical processes that control the fate and transport of contaminants—particularly radionuclides and nutrients—in natural systems. I focus on sorption mechanisms, mineral-sorbate interactions, and the behavior of contaminants at the mineral-water interface. More recently, I have been investigating how climate change affects the dynamic balance between dissolved iron, organic matter, and microbial activity in coastal wetlands—key processes influencing iron availability and carbon cycling under conditions of increasing hydrological variability.

To address these complex challenges, I integrate laboratory experiments with geochemical modeling and data-driven analysis. I employ a wide range of analytical techniques, including elemental analysis (ICP-AES/OES, ICP-MS, FAAS), microscopy (SEM-EDS, WDS, SEM-XRF), and mineralogical characterization (XRD). My computational work involves reactive transport modeling and sensitivity analysis using tools such as iPHT3D, PHREEQC, Python, R, and PEST.

I am also deeply invested in reproducible research workflows and the use of interactive tools like R and Shiny to explore large environmental datasets and communicate scientific insights effectively.
