Graduate Students

I am interested in better understanding chemical exposures and risk that face communities using passive sampling.

I'm primarily interested in the effects micro- and nanoplastics have on other chemicals in the environment, and my research focuses on the effects of these plastic particles to the toxicity of PAHs.

My goal through obtaining a PhD in Toxicology is to gain a greater understanding of biological and molecular processes as they relate to human health.

I am a third year PhD student working in the Water Quality Toxicology Lab. My research is focused on using high-resolution mass spectrometry as a tool to characterize chemical contaminants in natural and human-made aqueous systems, including irrigation canals, rivers, and drinking water and...

I am particularly interested in aquatic ecotoxicology involving stormwater runoff toxicity in salmonid species.

Mechanisms of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) toxicity in zebrafish

I'm interested in using zebrafish to better understand the toxicity of polyclicaromatic hydrocarbons through transcriptomics, fate studies, and comparison to other models. 

I am a PhD student studying under Dr. Susan Tilton.  My current research focuses on using a 3D respiratory model to better understand how pre-existing conditions, like asthma, impact the way polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are metabolized and if their toxicity is changed by the presence of...
