Welcome to the Environmental Chemistry Research Group at NMT. Our research is focused
on discovering hidden reaction pathways and mechanisms of complex environmental chemical
and photochemical processes. These studies provide essential molecular level insights
of surface chemistry and photochemistry of mineral oxides and engineered nanoparticles,
during their environmental "aging", to better understand their impact on various ecosystems.
We also conduct research to develop catalytic systems and polymer composites, based
on metal oxides and nanoparticles, to address various environmental issues in open
water bodies, including increasing amounts of wastewater pollutants. We believe in
the importance of developing creativity, critical thinking, scholarship, and independence
as successful traits in our chemists. Please explore the website and watch this video to learn more about the ongoing projects in the laboratory and the scientists behind
the chemistry. If you have any questions about our research please contact us.
