Education
- Ph.D. (Chemistry), The Pennsylvania State University, 2005
- B.S. (Biochemistry), Union College, 1998
Professional Interests
Dr. Monnell investigates the chemical and physical interactions between heavy metals, tailored molecules, and nano-sized particles and their environment. His projects involve utilizing molecular scale properties of functional materials and molecules to address environmental concerns, including heavy metal sequestration, molecule specific removal and/or degradation of persistent organic molecules. He teaches CEE 2501 – Water Chemistry, and CEE 2511 - Advanced Environmental Analysis and Processes. For more information, visit Dr. Monnell's home page.
