RESEARCH:
Alison鈥檚 research centers around aquatic chemistry and the bioremediation of aquatic ecosystems. Her interest lies primarily in oceanic ecosystems. Her current project utilizes electrospinning as a means of core-shell nanofiber generation, forming fibers with a bioremedial core and a natural polymer shell in order to reduce oil contamination of coastal and freshwater ecosystems using biodegradable shells and environmentally friendly cores. She hopes to use the methodology for fiber generation with other bioremedial cores, after completion of her current research.
