Sang Don Lee, Ph.D.
My research supports EPA’s Homeland Security research by evaluating and developing methods for remediation and sampling and by improving the understanding of Chemical, Biological, and Radiological agent behavior in the environment.
-
Lukas Oudejans, Ph.D.
The focus of my research is how to clean surfaces. That sounds easy enough but if you think of surfaces that are contaminated with highly toxic chemicals or biological pathogens, cleaning a surface takes on a different meaning.
