  • Email Address:

My laboratory’s research centers around the application of high-performance mass spectrometry techniques to problems in environmental toxicology and chemistry. Active areas of investigation include development of methods for broadband qualitative and quantitative analysis of polar organic contaminants in the environment, as well as the use of proteome analysis techniques for investigating mechanisms and biomarkers of chemical stress in aquatic organisms.
