Research Interest
research focus is analytical chemistry. Analytical chemistry is critical to all areas of science. As a result, my research group has worked on many diverse projects. Examples include analysis of chocolates for metals, fish for mercury content, teas for gallic acid, an antioxidant that has beneficial health effects the efficacy of prolonging the shelf life of perishables by various means of scavenging ethylene via photooxidation, insecticides used in pet flea and tick medicines, heavy metals in stratified soils, sulfite in wines, and the physico-chemical analysis of the life cycle of fluoropolymer precursors.
