研究领域

Analytical Chemistry/Environmental Chemistry/Physical Chemistry

Ph.D. Pennsylvania State University My research efforts are concentrated in three areas: the use of mass spectrometry in environmental chemistry, the application of laser spectroscopy to the study of combustion processes, and the investigation of fundamental properties of hydrocarbon radicals. Environmental analytical work in my laboratory involves development of new analytical techniques using laser desorption mass spectrometry and its application to examine airborne particles collected on sampling filters. Laser desorption - laser photoionization time of flight mass spectrometry (LDLPMS) is aptly suited to environmental analyses. The laser desorption and ionization process is not impeded by salts and gives essentially instantaneous volatilization of the sample. Thus the LDI-TOF mass spectrometer is an effective means to directly analyze soot or fly ash samples for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their chlorinated analogs, eliminating labor intensive and costly extraction procedures. Our method provides rapid analysis of the samples without any wet chemistry. It also can be adapted for use with a field portable system.
