Current
Research:
The focus of my research has been the
implementation of the technique of laser-induced acoustic
desorption (LIAD) coupled to a dual cell Fourier transform ion cyclotron
mass spectrometer (FT-ICR) to solve various analytical problems. LIAD enables
the introduction of intact neutral molecules into the gas phase to be subsequently
ionized by electron ionization (EI) or chemical ionization (CI). My research
has utilized LIAD in three areas: Peptide sequencing, polymer and petroleum
analysis and the measurement of thermochemical
properties of amino acids and nucleic acids.
