Chemistry, University of Nebraska at Omaha, 1983 Ph.D. Chemistry, Texas A&M University, 1989 Research Interests My areas of research include analytical applications of mass spectrometry for biomolecule analysis using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) and gas phase ion-molecule chemistry using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR). These instruments provide research opportunities in classical physical analytical areas for both graduate and undergraduate students in the College of Natural Sciences(CNS).
