Dr. Kreller is a Canadian who came to Georgia Southern in 2007 from the University of Notre Dame, where he had worked first as a post-doctoral research associate (in association with Notre Dame's Center for Environmental Science and Technology) and then as a visiting assistant professor. His research interests are in the area of the adsorption of low molecular weight organic acids and dissolved humic substances at the interfaces of aqueous solutions and mineral surfaces. These interfacial processes are relevant to biogeochemical nutrient cycling and soil development processes, and they impact the partitioning, transport and bioavailability of hydrophobic organic contaminants. When Professor Kreller is not in the classroom or his laboratory he enjoys getting fresh air, either by hiking or exploring the back roads of the Statesboro area on his (road) bicycle.
