Matt Ginder-Vogel

Matt Ginder-Vogel is a Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering, Geological Engineering, and Freshwater and Marine Sciences departments at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on environmental biogeochemistry, particularly the interactions between minerals and aqueous contaminants, with applications to groundwater quality and aquifer geochemistry.

Research Interests:

• Trace element detection (arsenic, radium, chromium)
• Particulate organic matter transport and transformation
• Manganese oxide reactivity in contaminant oxidation
• Aquifer geochemical modeling and radionuclide mobility
• Environmental analytical techniques (SERS, ICP-MS, XANES)

Recent Publications highlight his work on radium mobilization in aquifers, phenol oxidation kinetics, and machine learning-based contaminant prediction models. He leads the Environmental Biogeochemistry Lab and investigates processes at the mineral-water interface using experimental and computational approaches.
