Research:
My research interests are in the area of capillary separations.
More specifically, capillary electrophoresis, capillary
electrochromatography, and mass spectrometry.
Specific current projects involve the development of and fundamental studies of porous polymer monoliths for use in CEC,
I have a growing interest in the application of analytical methods to the analysis of art and artifacts.

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 a growing interest in the overlap between Chemistry and Art.
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.
