Research in Analytical and Environmental Chemistry

Specific interests in the areas of:

  • Development of sensor and membrane technology for the extraction and sensing of analytes of environmental, biological and industrial interest.

  • Application of analytical techniques, including: atomic absorption spectroscopy (flame, furnace and hydride); atomic emission spectroscopy (inductively coupled plasma); chromatography (ion, liquid, gas); capillary electrophoresis; and flow analysis methods to the analysis of metals, ionic species and organics.

Current Research Projects
