Alix Rodowa (Fed)
Alix’s research interests include emerging environmental contaminants of concern. She works primarily on the quantitative analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in environmental matrices including groundwater, drinking water, aqueous film-forming foams, and textiles. Her research goals include improved analytical instrumentation methods and quantitation, contributions to reference materials, and improving data quality. Alix is a member of the Biochemical and Exposure Sciences Group at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, SC.
