The Analytical Chemistry Division consists of
a dynamic group of faculty, research associates, and visiting
scientists whose research spans the classical topics of analytical
chemistry. This comprehensive program covers the areas of mass
spectrometry, separations, electrochemistry, and spectroscopy
with applications in the following fields: biomedical/pharmaceutical,
environmental, forensic/toxicology, nanotechnology, sensors, defense/homeland
security, and structural biology/biochemistry. Students work with
and develop state-of-the-art equipment (e.g. photoacoustic sensors,
pulsed and continuous wave lasers, ion cyclotron MS, impedance
spectroscopy, and 3-D amperometry) in top-notch facilities to
solve problems of critical significance.
