McKenna Dunmyer, MS, is a guest writer and PhD candidate at the University of Arizona with expertise in environmental contaminants, interfacial phenomena, and QCM-D. Her research investigates how PFAS interact with engineered surfaces and biomimetic membrane models to better understand contaminant fate, transport, remediation, and exposure risks. Through her work, she integrates QCM-D with advanced modeling approaches to resolve the molecular-scale processes governing contaminant behavior at environmental and biological interfaces, linking surface-level interactions to broader questions in environmental health and remediation.
