Information

Our research interests are in the understanding, development and application of mass spectrometric instrumentation. As well as gaining fundamental knowledge, these studies aim to extend the capabilities of mass spectrometry to various applications in areas such as proteomics, forensics, environmental monitoring, and homeland security.

We have recently secured NSF funding to construct a new type of mass spectrometer that should be readily miniaturized into a hand portable unit. This device is in the preliminary stages of development, but is a very exciting new area of research for us.

We also have NSF funding to support our developments in ion trap mass spectrometry. Here we are modifying the software of commercial and modified instruments to operate the traps in new and faster ways. We are also in the process of coupling our ion traps with fast and high-resolution separation methods such as fast GC and fast HPLC methods.

One of our other areas of research involves forensic applications of GC-Combustion-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (GC-C-IRMS).

See our website (link above) for more details about these and other projects in our group.
