Recent developments in nanotechnology and microfluidics have allowed the understanding and rational utilization of a series of micro total analysis systems (uTAS). Considering this, the IRES program aims to provide students an enriching research experience and link chemical properties with a real-world analytical problem
A recent study stated that lead is still the most prevalent contaminants in US school drinking water. This is critical because lead can enter drinking water from service lines and lead-containing plumbing, particularly in the presence of corrosive water. Aiming to identify potential sources of lead contamination in drinking water outlets in schools, our lab…
We are interested in developing analytical methodologies based on CE as well as the implementation of sample-pretreatment steps to improve the overall analysis. We are also interested in the the translational applications of microfluidics, the development of fabrication methods as well as the implementation of electrochemical methods for the detection at this scale.
