Research Interests

My research has focused on environmental testing and luminescence spectroscopy over the last 10 years.  Students are currently working on a project to synthesize oxindole derivatives for study of their fluorescence and phosphorescence behaviors.  Previous projects have included the quantitation of mercury and cadmium in store-bought seafood and locally harvested freshwater fish.
