About Me

As an Assistant Professor at URegina, I teach and conduct research on microbial interactions with the geosphere. I am specifically interested in metal(loid) and hydrocarbon contaminant remediation and metal transformations mediated by microbes in mine wastes. My projects included studies of uranium mine tailings and ores, oil sands tailings, groundwater treatment for elevated concentrations of Mn and Fe, saline/freshwater gradient microbiology, and metals in trace fossils and archaeaological samples.
