Prospective Students
While I am always interested in talking with prospective undergraduate and M.S. students for research in urban water quality and biogeochemistry, I cannot promise I am taking on new students. However, I always recommend reaching out to me via email if my research interests you!
Specific Opportunities
There are no specific opportunities at this time.
M.S. Students
I encourage prospective MS students to read this section careful before reaching out to me via email! This may answer some of your questions.
Georgia State University offers a Masters of Science in Geoscience with a concentration in Water Science. For more information, see the program guidelines here: https://catalog.gsu.edu/graduate20202021/college-of-arts-and-sciences/#geosciences
Thesis projects in my lab will most likely involve a combination of field hydrology and lab chemistry in the Atlanta region. The ability to travel to field sites (so having a driver's license and car access) is extremely useful. Mostly I want self-motivated students who are excited about hydrology, are willing to go out to collect samples in the field in any type of weather, and enjoy reading research papers and learning about water quality and biogeochemistry!
Teaching assistantships are available for 10-hours a week of work and come with a full tuition waiver, but minimal monetary support. As much as possible, I try to support students with additional funding through graduate research assistantships, but the funding is not always available.
Unlike many other research universities, you can apply to the Master's program at Georgia State without an advisor, but I highly recommend sending me an email before you apply with a description of your research interests, your job goals, and a copy of your CV.
In addition to our thesis-track MS, we offer a course/internship/project-based capstone MS. The catalogue link above helps explain some of the differences.

Undergraduate Students
If you are a Geoscience undergraduate student or dual degree student interested in urban water quality, let me know! I often have data sets that need to be plotted and analyzed or field samples that need to be collected or analyzed in the lab. Please reach out to me and we can see if we can come up with a small research question for you to work on!
