    Research Interest:

  My research interest include the development of separation techniques for the analysis of explosives and other energetic materials as well as LC/MS detection of cyanobacterial toxins.  In addition I work on separations  development  using  liquid  chromatography  in  general.  I  work  for  Water's Corporation, a leading scientific instrument manufacturer, as a senior field chemist.  I  do  methods  development  work  using  various  analytical  techniques.   Some  of  these  techniques  include  high performance  liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS), and the new UltraPerformance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC).
