# overview
Our research covers a wide spectrum of topics related to the transport, characterization, and removal of environmental colloids.  We collaborate synergistically with microbiologists, chemical engineers, mathematicians, medical doctors, geologists, and other environmental engineers and scientists.  In particular, we investigate two seemingly disparate topics; water purification (treatment of drinking water, industrial and municipal wastewater including hydraulic fracturing water, etc.) and tropospheric aerosols.
