Brown University

How do organic chemicals move and persist in subsurface groundwater and soils under remediation actions? The research program models multiphase flow and reactive transport to predict contaminant fate and to design remediation strategies. Researchers investigate nanoparticle transport and reactivity for engineered subsurface applications and test transport mechanisms experimentally and in models. The group studies groundwater hydrology and soil remediation to understand PFAS and other emerging contaminants in the subsurface environment. The lab engages in interdisciplinary projects documented on the Engineering and IBES faculty pages.
