Montreal, Quebec

• Developed a new form of spectroscopy based on ultrasound frequency analysis.
• Created several instrument designs, including sample cell creation using a CNC mill, data acquisition, and computer interfacing.
• Synthesized novel hydrogel sensors based on cellulose, acrylamide, and dendrimeric polymers. These were targeted towards small molecules (theophylline, caffeine, acetaminophen) and to proteins (TNF-alpha) using a.
• Demonstrated the utility of analyzing nonlinear ultrasound frequencies for the quantification of mixtures containing liquids and dissolved solids.
• Commercial beverage analysis (water, ethanol, methanol traces, sucrose, glucose, fructose)
• Water contamination analysis (nitrates, phosphates, sulfates, soil, mineral oils)

Laboratory Of Professor Cameron D. Skinner

• Developed novel capillary electrophoresis photopolymer monoliths using boronic acid moieties for the chromatographic separation of hydroxylated compounds.
• Monoliths were characterized using a variety of methods including NMR (1H, 13C), Raman spectroscopy, and TEM.
• Modified proteins using both enzymatic and non-enzymatic methods of glycosylation and deglycosylation, which were characterized by mass spectrometry (ESI, MALDI).
• Separated proteins using capillary electrochromatography in conjunction with the boronic acid monolith.

Laboratory Of Professor Cameron D. Skinner

• Developed novel capillary electrophoresis monoliths using boronic acid moieties for the chromatographic separation of hydroxylated compounds.

Laboratory Of Professor John A. Capobianco

• Characterized tellurite glasses using spectroscopic analysis.
• Optical emission, lifetime, and upconversion studies of two glasses doped with the lanthanide Praseodymium were done.
