My thesis investigates using algae and nanotechnology to remove copper from polluted environments while producing copper nanoparticles, offering a sustainable approach to remediation and eco-friendly nanomaterial synthesis.

I'm entering my 4th year of Concurrent Education with a focus on analytical chemistry. My thesis in Dr. Mangal’s lab will examine soil organic carbon properties from vineyards, orchards, and cash crop sites using TGA, FTIR, and CHNS analysis.

My undergraduate thesis analyzes metal content in algae and water from Port Colborne, Fort Erie, and Hamilton Harbour, exploring effects on algal growth and the role of DOC and TN in water quality.

I hold a B.Sc. in Biological Science from Brock and am now pursuing an M.Sc. in Biotechnology, researching agricultural impacts on mercury methylation and metal bioaccumulation in Niagara waterways.

My research analyzes water and soil organic matter to assess human impacts, focusing on mercury interactions during algal blooms using advanced mass spectrometry to explore carbon-metal cycling and biogeochemical processes.
