Explored strategies for improving lipid and metabolite identifications in untargeted -omics studies using ion mobility-derived collision cross sections (CCS). Developed standardization and reporting recommendations for CCS values derived from various types of ion mobility measurements and used these recommendations to build databases and implement novel algorithms for obtaining high-confidence molecular identifications. Other projects included LC-MS/MS method optimization for lipidomics and application of lipidomic methodology and data analysis pipelines to various biological systems in collaboration with the Center for Innovative Technology at Vanderbilt.

Completed analytical projects relating to production quality control and warranty claims. Developed rheological methods and SOPs for new product lines in development, and trained staff on use and maintenance of the rheometer.

Synthesis and characterization of an enzyme-mimic copper(II) Schiff-base complex. Exploration of the kinetics of its reaction with oxalic acid using spectroscopic methods.
