Dr. White has expertise on the use of nanotechnology in agriculture (nano-enabled agriculture), specifically, on the sustainable use of nanoscale micronutrients and other materials to suppress crop disease, increase tolerance to abiotic stress, and enhance food production. He also has expertise in the accumulation and toxicity of nanomaterials to crop species, as well as the fate and disposition of engineered nanomaterials in the environment. Dr. White has additional experience in the detection of pesticides, toxins, poisons and heavy metals for food safety and food defense. He also has expertise in the phytoremediation of persistent organic pollutants such as PFAS in soil, as well as more generally on the fate of organic contaminants in soils, sediments, and waters. His current program is supported by $5.1 million in competitive funding in these areas.
