Research Areas
Explore our diverse research focus areas and discover the innovative work being conducted in our laboratory.
Hydrochemistry & Water Quality
Understanding the chemical composition and processes governing natural and impacted aquatic systems. Research focuses on surface water, groundwater, estuarine, and drinking water systems to evaluate water quality, pollutant dynamics, and ecosystem health.
Environmental Forensics
Applying advanced chemical fingerprinting and forensic techniques to identify contamination sources, reconstruct pollutant release histories, and determine environmental exposure pathways.
Emerging Contaminants & Micropollutants
Investigating the occurrence, fate, and transport of emerging contaminants such as endocrine-disrupting compounds, PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics across environmental matrices including water, sediments, and biota.
Environmental & Human Health Risk Assessment
Integrating environmental monitoring, toxicological data, and exposure modelling to assess ecological and human health risks associated with chemical pollutants.
Water Treatment & Pollution Mitigation
Developing innovative and cost-effective technologies for removing contaminants from water systems, including advanced adsorption materials and treatment strategies for toxic metals and organic pollutants.
Hydrochemical Modelling & Geochemical Processes
Using hydrochemical speciation modelling, statistical analysis, and geochemical approaches to understand contaminant behaviour, transport mechanisms, and transformation processes in aquatic environments.
Environmental Monitoring & Ecosystem Health Indicators
Designing pollutant databases, environmental indices, and monitoring frameworks to evaluate ecosystem status, detect pollution trends, and support environmental governance.
Planetary Health & Environmental Policy Interface
Translating scientific evidence into policy-relevant knowledge that supports environmental regulation, sustainable resource management, and planetary health protection.
