Research Interests
Dr. Yoon's research team focused on subsurface remediation technologies, especially targeting NAPLs. Recent research projects include use of surfactants to recover crude oil, coal tar, diesel, and jet fuel, partitioning tracer testing for NAPL detection and estimation, and treatment of dredged sediments. Exciting new work was undertaken to develop a new clean-up process for crude oil contamenated site.
