Research Interests
The research in the Jiang-lab has two main thrusts: a) apply life cycle principles and economic input-output analysis to understand the environmental and socio-economic impacts of emerging technologies; and b) combine electrochemistry, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry techniques to develop remediation technologies for emerging environmental contaminants.
