Academic Interests

Teaching Interests

  • Analytical chemistry is changing fairly rapidly due to the advances in nanotechnology and bioanalytical chemistry. It is interesting to follow the changes and include them in the classroom.

Research Interests

  • I am currently mathematically modeling by-product formation when sodium hypochlorite is generated on site to disinfect water. Students are helping to compare predicted and actual concentrations of by-products to help understand the chemistry.
