| Research interests focus on the application of analytical chemistry to investigate complex chemical phenomena with an emphasis in the areas of molecular spectroscopy and organized media. These include studies of chiral and molecular recognition, the study of phase behavior and interactions in micellar solutions, and the development of fluorescence sensors and pseudostationary phases for use in micellar capillary electrophoresis. We are currently focused on the development of fluorescence anisotropy as a tool in the study of chiral recognition. Projects are currently supported by the ACS Petroleum Research Fund, and the Materials Technology Center, SIU. | |||||||||||||||||
| The primary techniques used in our laboratory include fluorescence spectroscopy and capillary electrophoresis. Fluorescence studies include steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence polarization spectroscopy. Capillary electrophoresis is also used in our laboratory, as well as the synthesis of new psuedostationary phases and fluorescence sensors. | |||||||||||||||||
