Dr. Ames has conducted original research in the areas of sampling and elemental analysis of environmental materials by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA), and source identification and apportionment by receptor modeling. He has investigated such topics as atmospheric mercury; trace elements in coarse, fine, and ultra-fine atmospheric particulate material and wet deposition; toxic metals partitioning during coal combustion for emissions modeling; and the use of dated sediment, tree ring, and human hair samples for the reconstruction of historical contamination trends. He has also performed research on nuclear power plant coolant chemistry control for worker dose reduction, and radiation effects on materials. His current work includes health risk assessments of atmospheric particulate matter, and of contaminants in ground water and river sediments.

Dr. Ames holds a B.S. (1984), an M.S. (1986) and an Sc.D. (1995) in Nuclear Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
