Principal research interests in environmental health sciences, with emphasis on exposure assessment and development of biomarkers. Research has been conducted on establishing the pre-Industrial baseline levels of lead distribution and cadmium, lead in the urban environment through environmental epidemiological survey, the durability of natural glass for nuclear waste containment, and GIS/remote sensing.
