Aquatic Biogeochemistry and Pollution
My research spans freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems, focusing on how water chemistry interacts with pollutants and influences ecosystem health. I conduct in situ and ex situ assessments to evaluate water quality under varying conditions.

In addition, I study emerging contaminants such as trace metals, heavy metals and microplastics by investigating their behavior, fate and long-term impacts on aquatic ecosystems and public health. My work examines how pollutants affect aquatic organisms at cellular and ecosystem levels. I focus on bioaccumulation and biomagnification to understand how toxins move through food webs, posing risks to wildlife and humans and informing pollution management strategies.
I ' m eager to collaborate with industry, non-government and civil society organisations and government agencies, especially on community-driven research.
I’ m passionate about developing sustainable, impactful solutions to environmental challenges that benefit both ecosystems and local communities.
