She is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science at Barnard College of Columbia University. Dr. Diana’s research interests include the (1) sources and fate of pollution, (2) environmental health effects of pollutants on aquatic biota and ecosystems, and (3) solutions-based research on pollution prevention and remediation. Much of this research focuses on microplastics, though she is interested in contributors to global change broadly. She uses approaches and techniques from aquatic ecology, environmental health and toxicology, analytical chemistry, and the social sciences. During her PhD, Zoie co-founded the Duke University Plastic Pollution Working Group and during her postdoc, Zoie co-founded the Paint Microplastics Network. Zoie previously earned her Ph.D. at Duke University in Dr. Dan Rittschof’s lab in the Marine Science and Conservation Division and Integrated Toxicology and Environmental Health Program.
