Biography
Sascha Usenko is currently working as an Associate Professor of Environmental Science at Baylor University. He has completed his Ph.D. from Oregon State University, 2007 & B.S. from Oregon State University, 2001.Dr. Usenko's research interests include tracking the environmental transport and fate of anthropogenic contaminants in aquatic ecosystems, particularly in spatial and temporal scales; also the transformation and bioavailability of persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals in the environment; and also the focus on the environmental forensic chemistry to identify sources of contaminants using unique chemical fingerprints. He had no. of publications in many national and international journals.
