Building Resilience to PFAS Exposure on Vulnerable Costal Communities

Principal Investigator: Dr. Katherine Deliz Quinones  

Department: Environmental Engineering Sciences

Institution: University of Florida 

Personal Research Affiliation: August 2023 - May 2024

Research Focus: My research focus of the project was to investigate microbial dynamics and the movement of microorganisms, predominately bacteria microorganisms.

Project Responsibilities: While working under Dr. Deliz, I helped weigh soil samples from Brevard County,  tested for different traces of elements, and prepared them for autoclaving. Alongside this work, I aided in the integration of already curated data samples using QuanBrowser (Xcalibur) and figured out different types of PFAS concentration through analyzing the integrations visual peaks.
