Fate and Transport of Nanoparticles in Porous Media

Objective

This project mainly focuses on to advance current knowledge of environmental fate and transport of natural and engineered nanoparticles to inform science-based strategies to avoid the adverse environmental impacts. We are particularly interested in elucidating the governing mechanisms of the filtration and transport of natural and engineered nanoparticles in water-saturated and unsaturated porous media.
