About
As part of an all-volunteer team of scientists, I have been studying chemical aspects of drinking water quality in South Asia for nearly 20 years. Together, our team has published numerous papers on multiple metal contamination of drinking water in Bangladesh, West Bengal, India, and Myanmar. Our research is centered on finding solutions to provide safe drinking water for the developing world.
