Research:
My research interests are in the area of biological/biochemical applications of Analytical Chemistry.
More specifically, capillary electrophoresis, capillary electrochromatography, and micellar electrokinetic chromatography.
I am also interested in mass spectrometry.

New students interested in working in my lab should look here, too.

Other Interests:
In 1982 and 1983 I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya where I taught secondary school.
I would be happy to talk with any students considering entering the Peace Corps after graduation.
Students interested in alternate career paths should look here!

In the past I have tried to organize Trinity students with dependents. This group is currently inactive.
But if you are a Trinity student with one or more dependents and are interested in making contact with
others in your situation, send me some email and we can try to revive the group.

I have several articles and coauthored a booklet related to career issues at predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUI's).
These articles would be of particular interest to graduate students or postdoctoral associates considering careers at PUIs.
The references are listed in my vitae as other publications. 

Go here to find my links or other computer based resources.
Students in my classes may find some useful information at either of these two locations.
Both professional and some fun links are listed.
I also have a few links for students thinking about life after Trinity (or will very soon).
I have started a page on 'Science in Fiction'. But it is very brief.
