Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide

Environmental chemistry, Environmental engineering, Biodegradation, Isotopes of carbon and Bioremediation are his primary areas of study. His Environmental chemistry research includes elements of Isotope analysis, Carbon and Reductive dechlorination. His Environmental engineering study incorporates themes from Phase, Dissolution, Flow, Porous medium and Environmental remediation.

Brent E. Sleep interconnects Particle aggregation, Mixing, Zerovalent iron and Groundwater in the investigation of issues within Environmental remediation. Brent E. Sleep focuses mostly in the field of Biodegradation, narrowing it down to topics relating to Fractionation and, in certain cases, Toluene. His Contamination study combines topics in areas such as Waste management and Heavy metals.

His most cited work include:

  • Nanoscale zero valent iron and bimetallic particles for contaminated site remediation (524 citations)
  • Modeling the transport of volatile organics in variably saturated media (262 citations)
  • Stable carbon isotope evidence for intrinsic bioremediation of tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene at area 6, Dover Air Force Base. (210 citations)
