Project: Sorption thermodynamics as controls of substrate use and mineralization: response to complex boundary conditions • Investigate how mineral type and crystallinity control the sorption and desorption of model organic substrates. (citric acid, glucose, and phenylalanine) on synthesized minerals and clay minerals • Design and run multi-week batch sorption–desorption experiments; quantify dissolved organic carbon (TOC)

Thesis: Relative contributions of bacteria and protists to the microbial loop

Thesis: Local varieties of Allium sativum have more effective antimicrobial properties compared to imported variety
