Research Interests:
My research spans three major areas. Analytical chemistry is applied to the fields of environmental, forensic, and food chemistry. Method development efforts are directed toward the optimization of chromatographic sensitivity and selectivity for various classes of compounds. Polymer films and blends are produced and studied to alter certain chemical and physical properties, including flammability.
