Project Description:
Voltage-sweep IMS will be investigated towards its application in security environments by improving the separation and resolution of IMS. Work will include experience with both IMS and Mass Spectrometry methods and will involve travel to a collaborator's laboratory at WSU. In this research students will select from among three primary projects. (1) Determining the kinetic profile of pulsed Electrospray Ionization; (2) Development of pulsed Electrospray ionization in IMS; and (3) Development of a Voltage Sweep IMS method using high voltage amplifiers. Students in this lab may expect to learn basic chemical instrumentation, soldering, 3D printing, basic circuit design, and utilize chemical laboratory skills (especially dilution and quantitative techniques). All projects and any related travel are fully funded by the National Science Foundation.
Student Pre-requisites:
General Chemistry II (CH181) and Lab (CH181L)
Accepting 3 Students
