Biography

Professor Voice's research involves the mass-transfer of chemical contaminants in systems of environmental interest, with emphasis on interactions between pollutants and soils, sediments, and suspended solids. Current research is focused on the environmental impact and remediation of terrestrial chemical spills. He is involved in research on water and waste treatment systems that utilize activated ... carbon absorption. Professor Voice maintains a strong secondary interest in the development of new and improved methods for chemical analysis.
