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.
