... He was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and a Fulbright Visiting Scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. His research interests include biogeochemical cycling of organic matter in the marine environment, pathways of degradation and preservation of organic matter, organic biomarkers and stable isotopes as tracers of past and present oceanographic processes, and use of stable isotopes as tracers of sources and diagenetic alteration of organic molecules.
