I graduated in October 2009 from Wilfrid Laurier University with a BSc in
Biology and Chemistry. My undergraduate thesis focused on optimizing
geometries and infrared frequencies of methylated organoarsenicals on iron
oxide cluster models using quantum chemical calculations. I am currently a
first year MSc student researching phosphorus speciation, dissolved organic
matter and surface characterization of wastewater and implications for
phosphorus removal across a range of treatment technologies.

This research is being funded by NSERC and EnviroSim Associated Ltd.
