OverviewAI-generated summary

Julian L. Fairey's research focuses on the chemical processes occurring in drinking water disinfection byproducts and the development of analytical methods for their detection. He has published work investigating the decomposition pathways of dichloramine, a key intermediate in chloramine disinfection, and the formation of reactive nitrogen species and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). His studies also address the quantification of chlorite, chlorate, perchlorate, and the chloronitramide anion in various water matrices, including tap water, utilizing techniques such as ion chromatography.

Fairey also has a demonstrated interest in developing sensor technologies for environmental monitoring. He serves as Principal Investigator on an NSF I-Corps grant for the development of a fluorescence sensor for the early detection of nitrification in drinking water. Additionally, his work includes the development of non-steady-state Fickian diffusion models to improve the accuracy of passive samplers used for environmental monitoring.

His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 12, 32 total publications, and 676 total citations. Fairey has received federal funding for two awards totaling $684,526, including an NSF MRI grant for the acquisition of a high-resolution mass spectrometer and the aforementioned NSF I-Corps grant. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Justin R. Chimka, Duong Duc Thien, Ashley D. Pifer, and Samuel D. Hodges.
