Research Interests with Students: I am open to student ideas. I enjoy working with students to come up with a project that takes into account their interests. Some of my past student research projects have included: testing bathroom hand dryers for bacterial contamination, detecting Legionella and other bacteria in various DSC water sources, and testing bacterial susceptibility to various antibiotics and household cleaners.
