Visiting Scientist -- SWES
Background:
BS Department of Geological Engineering, 1999-2003, Kocaeli University
MS Department of Geological Engineering, 2003-2006, Kocaeli University
PhD Department of Geological Engineering, 2006-, Kocaeli University
PhD Student and Research Scientist in SWES.
Current Project:
I’m currently working on in-situ remediation of organic immiscible liquids in natural porous media through
the use of chemical reagents. I’m also interested in understanding the factors for the fate and transport of
contaminants in the subsurface based on experimental and mathematical modeling approaches.

Research Scientist -- SWES
Background:
PhD from the Polytechnic National Institute of Loraine in Nancy, France
MS in Theoretical Fluid Mechanics from the University of Bordeaux 1 in Bordeaux, France
DUT in Mechanical Engineering from the Technological University Institute in Limoges, France
Current Project:
My project at the University of Arizona is a collaboration with the Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory to experimentally study the behavior of carbon tetrachloride pollution in the vadose
zone using a specially constructed flow cell in different configurations. This apparatus will
allow us to do many things: develop field protocols to detect the source of the pollution, map
the polluted area, and analyze the transport of the pollutant in both the gas and liquid phase
in order to optimize the extraction.

PhD Student -- SWES
Background:
B.S. Natural Resources, North Carolina State University
M.S. Soil Science, North Carolina State University
Current Research:
- - Characterization of a TCE-contaminated field site and determination of TCE mass flux from this site
- - TCE sorption experiments using sediments from a field site contaminated with TCE. I am looking specifically at TCE adsorption to interlayer spaces of clay minerals present at a field site contaminated with TCE.
- - Development of model to predict mass flux over time at field sites contaminated with TCE
- - Evaluation of Arizona pine forest waste biochar as a sorbent for trapping contaminants in runoff water
- - Characterization of sorptive capacity and sorption behavior of biochar
- - Characterization of contaminant removal capacity of biochar under flow-through conditions
- - Determination of potential to use biochar as a sorbent to reduce pollutants in runoff water
