College in Galway, Ireland. His major area of
interest is geomicrobiology
applied to environmental problems. Specific
interests include diverse forms of anaerobic microbial
metabolism such as microbial perchlorate reduction,
microbial iron oxidation and reduction, and microbial
humic substances redox cycles. Other interests include
bioremediation of toxic metals, radionuclides, and
organics. He was the recipient of the 1998 Oak
Ridge Ralph E. Powe Young Faculty Enhancement Award,
