Research:
My work focuses on regulatory environmental toxicology, risk assessment, exposure assessment, cleanup of contaminated sites, and risk communication for the state of California. The goals are to protect communities and the environment from the harm of exposure to toxic chemicals and foster the development of safer consume products.
