Biography

Dr. Mitchell completed his undergraduate studies in Environmental Sciences and post-graduate studies in Biological Sciences at the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, Mexico. During his post-graduate studies, he worked with the Toxicology and Environmental Bioengineering research group on the risk assessment and remediation of areas polluted with toxic metals from metal mining facilities. Dr. Mitchell continues to collaborate on an international project focused on the remediation of polluted environments using organic amendments. He is also involved in an ongoing project exploring the spatiotemporal trends of ambient particulate matter pollution and their effects on human health.
