Improve the characterization and identification of biomolecules by developing mass spectrometry methods for tuning and controlling the fragmentation of ions and the ionization of molecules
Develop mass spectrometry methods for tracking the in vivo metabolism of exogenous compounds, including insecticides and pharmaceutical lead compounds, to understand how insects develop metabolic based insecticide resistance and improve the drug development process (with Professors Phil Batterham and Richard O'Hair)
Investigate the effects of structure on the reactivity of high-valent metal-oxo complexes that mimic the active site intermediates of enzymes capable of remarkable catalytic feats using ion-molecule reactions, ion fragmentation methods, and laser spectroscopy (with Professors Christine McKenzie and Richard O’Hair)
