... Her current research projects include evaluation of the effects of the interaction between porous medium heterogeneity and fluid density on field-scale dispersion, stochastic analysis of virus transport in aquifers, and tracer tests in fractured sedementary rock. She teaches graduate courses in groundwater hydrology, subsurface contaminant transport, water resources systems analysis, and stochastic subsurface hydrology.
