Research themes
Mineral surfaces
The structures and properties of mineral surfaces are studied with both experiment and computation.
Nanoparticle evolution
Structures and kinetics of aqueous, amorphous, colloidal and crystalline phases of sulfides and other minerals.
Mineral - fluid interactions
The mechanisms of interactions between minerals and the environment are investigated from the molecular to macroscopic scale.
Interfaces with microorganisms
The formation, alteration and dissolution of solid phases by microorganisms play a key role in many biological processes.
