My research interests are:

Better understanding the inherent electrochemistry involved in electrospray mass spectrometry

Broadening the use of electrochemistry/electrospray mass spectrometry (EC/ES-MS) technique

Use of EC/ES-MS as a tool to solve analytical problems

Electrochemically modified electrodes (PANI, PPy, PMB)

Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) technique

Atmospheric pressure surface sampling and ionization methods for chemical imaging
