Analytical chemists obtain, process, and communicate information about the composition and structure of matter. In other words, analytical chemistry investigates what matter is and how much of it exists.
Our labs develop technologies to improve (bio)chemical measurements. Examples include: mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and peptidomics approaches, nanocrystal-based optical sensors for bio-sensing applications, microfluidic chips, paper diagnostics, and aqueous multiphase systems that sort molecules by viscosity.
