Research Interests

Current research includes development of specific analytical methods for selected groups of pesticides, naturally occurring toxic compounds in agricultural crops and environmental pollutants. Research projects are usuallly geared to solve specific problems associated with agricultural industries, and health and environmental concerns.

A variety of advanced chromatographic techniques and modern instrumentation are employed, but emphasis is given to GC and HPLC in conjunction with MS.
