Determine the quality of water used for irrigation in the
Bakersfield area by examining water for fracking markers.
Field samples are taken from several sites and quantitative
concentrations for compounds toxic to human life are
measured.
January 2014 Biomimetic Catalyst Research
– August 2015 Van Heuvelen Lab,Harvey Mudd College
Synthesized a novel biomimetic model compound of
Vitamin B12, [Co(TMC)Cl]Cl. Characterized with UV-vis, X-
ray crystallography, and elemental analysis. Compound
could dechlorinate tetrachloroethylene, an industrial
degreaser and common water pollutant. Developed
method for using solid-phase microextraction with GC-MS
to detect reaction products.
