Fred is a leader in the design and development of in situ reactive zone technologies for aquifer restoration. In 2005, he coauthored the book In Situ Remediation Engineering with Suthan S. Suthersan and he is the lead author for the book Remediation Hydraulics (2008). He is the inventor of six patented technologies used in the treatment of contaminated soils and groundwater that have been applied with great success at several hundred sites in the United States, Japan, and Europe. He is presently developing enhanced soil and groundwater remedial systems employing chemical oxidation and reduction, as well as biological methods for in-situ destruction of contaminants, with a focus on treatment of difficult compounds such as 1,4-dioxane, nitrosodimethylamine and hydrophobic organic compounds such as hexachlorobenzene and polychlorinated biphenyls. He is a member of the ITRC Bioremediation of DNAPLs team.
