Research Interests
  • Matthew Ginder-Vogel is an associate scientist in the Delaware Environmental Institute at the University of Delaware. Before joining the Institute, Dr. Ginder-Vogel worked as post-doctoral researcher with Dr. Donald Sparks at the University of Delaware. He received his Ph.D. in Soil and Environmental Biogeochemistry from Stanford University. Ginder-Vogel's research seeks to define the fundamental biogeochemical processes controlling the dynamics of nutrients and contaminants within the the environment. His research combines field-based experiments with simplified lab-based experiments, in order to reveal the dominant biogeochemical mechanisms affecting element mobility in environmental systems. He uses traditional spectroscopic and microscopic methods, as well as state-of-the-art methods like synchrotron radiation-based X-ray microscopic, spectroscopic, and diffraction techniques. Ginder-Vogel recently published details of a new X-ray spectroscopic technique used to measure rapid environmental redox reactions in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and continues to push the boundaries of environmental biogeochemistry.
