I am a passionate advocate for sustainable environmental solutions via assessing exposure to emerging and legacy contaminants and developing remeidation strategies. My current research is focused on assessing bioavailability of PFAS, mapping arsenic contamination in the legacy Victorian goldfields and assessing the effect of smelter emissions on mangroves that populate the Upper Spencer Gulf, Port Pirie.
Among my other research projects include developing cost-effective lead immobilization strategies that can be applied to Australian mining and smelting impacted communities. To carry out this research I have been awarded Fulbright fellowship from the Australian American Fulbright Commission in 2020, Early Career Researcher Grant by... Read more
About me
I am a passionate advocate for sustainable environmental solutions via assessing exposure to emerging and legacy contaminants and developing remeidation strategies. My current research is focused on assessing bioavailability of PFAS, mapping arsenic contamination in the legacy Victorian goldfields and assessing the effect of smelter emissions on mangroves that populate the Upper Spencer Gulf, Port Pirie.
Among my other research projects include developing cost-effective lead immobilization strategies that can be applied to Australian mining and smelting impacted communities. To carry out this research I have been awarded Fulbright fellowship from the Australian American Fulbright Commission in 2020, Early Career Researcher Grant by Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering (AINSE) in 2021 and AMP Tomorrow Maker award by the AMP Foundation in 2021.
I also collaborate on projects with University of Tasmania investigating exposure to elements and organic pollutants in seabirds and the role of microplastics as a potential vector.
I am very happy to be contacted by students interested in learning more about any of the above by asking me about summer internship or honours projects.
