NARRATIVE
My research primarily focuses on exposure measurements of chemicals, primarily pesticides, in residential environments. My current interests focus on investigating factors that may confound parent/metabolite measurements, and improving measurement technologies, especially in the areas of surface sampling and human exposure.
