Our research is focused in the field of environmental forensic chemistry which involves the application of chemical concepts to the interpretation, distribution, speciation, and bioavailability of chemicals in the environment (often litigious). We focus on persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic chemicals. We are working at several field sites, mostly throughout the state of Oregon, including the Portland Harbor Superfund Site, and several sites on the Willamette River. We work in several eco-system compartments: dominantly fish, surface waters and sediments. In addition, to classical techniques, we work on development and evaluation of in-situ techniques which mimic organisms, in order to better understand bioavailability. |

My focus on preservice elementary science teaching draws upon what they bring to science and science teaching. An anti-deficit perspective offers preservice teachers a means to explore their personal, familial, cultural, and societal resources. This perspective provides a platform for them to refer to as they reflect and examine what this means for their future practice. I am especially interested in how preservice teachers use this anti-deficit perspective to inform both their developing practice as teachers of science and their relationships with the children and families in their school communities. |

College of Agricultural Science |
Preservation of genomic integrity requires the proper functioning of multiple pathways for DNA replication, repair, and recombination. One critical repair pathway is DNA mismatch repair (MMR) which helps ensure genomic stability by correcting potentially mutagenic mismatches arising during DNA replication and by suppressing recombination between non-identical sequences. In addition to these mutation avoidance functions, MMR potentiates the cytotoxicity of several DNA damaging agents, implicating MMR in a pathway of genome surveillance for DNA damage. First characterized in bacteria and yeast, the association of MMR gene deficiencies with hereditary and sporadic human cancer has highlighted the importance of understanding different MMR functions in mammalian cells. |

Our lab relies on state-of-the-art high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), combining suspect and non-target screening (NTS) of contaminants to help expand the coverage of current water monitoring strategies. Contaminants are prioritized based on their potential risk (i.e., hazard and exposure) by combining in vitro toxicity data with computational toxicity predictions. We also combine this risk-based approach with effects-directed analysis (EDA), for the identification of unknown toxic chemical contaminants in water and their prioritization based on bioactivity and environmental concentrations. In addition, we use targeted and non-targeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and lipidomics analyses, combined with genomics techniques, to better understand the impact of contaminants on animals and human health". |

My group uses a variety of measurement and modeling approaches for this research, including thermal imaging, deployment of eddy covariance flux, microclimate, and physiological sensors, and ecological and physiological process modeling. |

*** Approved to advise Non Thesis students and serve on student committees *** I have developed advanced zebrafish as a premier model for environmental health sciences research. We are now at a point to begin mining the data to develop models to prioritize and predict toxicity of chemicals/nanoparticles/mixtures that have insufficient hazard information. |

I work in aquatic ecosystems and have broad reasearch interests that encompass fish, ecosystems, forests, invertebrates, biogeochemistry, historical ecology, and restoration. Much of my recent work has focused on aquatic-terrestrial linkages in natural and managed ecosystems. Working at the interface between streams and forests, I have a joint appointment between the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society and the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife here at Oregon State University. |

My research uses tools from oceanography, ecology, economics, computer science and applied math to understand the functioning of Complex Adaptive Systems. These systems are all around us, including the financial systems, the human immune system and ecosystems. I am interested in learning from all these systems, to improve our understanding and governance of primarily marine social-ecological systems. |
