Hello! I’m Maru, a professor in the sciences and practitioner of the arts. My teaching and research areas are phytoremediation, micro-scale processes, climate science/ atmospheric modeling, surface chemistry, NOx sensing and pre-engineering education. I combined these topics in postdoctoral and international field studies. I teach and lead research teams at universities in the US and abroad (Australia, Canada, the UK, China and Africa).
My STEAM work stems from my profession and passion-providing resources to counter the lack of proficiency in STEM subjects due to inequity in education. My STE(A)M initiatives are in 4 cities in the U.S. and 3 countries in Africa.
Hobbies I enjoy include volleyball, skating, sewing, running, reading and performing. Additionally, I practice innovative design.
