Research
Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemists build the tools and methods that measure chemistry, in the lab
and in the environment.
Research specialties
- Mass spectrometry: identifying molecules by measuring their mass
- Separations: pulling complex mixtures apart into their individual components
- Instrumentation: building and improving the instruments that measure chemistry
- Nanoscale sensing: detecting tiny amounts of a substance with nanoscale materials
- Environmental analysis: measuring pollutants in air, water, soil and living things
