Research Interests

Bioanalytical and Environmental Chemistry:

My research program focuses on developing sensitive analytical methods based on LC-MS, CE, and ICP-MS to study emerging contaminants in the environment and translate these methods toward biomonitoring in biological fluids.

1. Analytical Method Development for Emerging Contaminant: This work will focus on developing sensitive LC-MS, GC-MS, and CE methods for detecting bisphenol analogues, PPCPs, and heavy metals in various sample matrices.
2. Biomonitoring of Contaminant Exposure and Health Risk: This area of research will extend the developed analytical methods toward human biomonitoring, characterizing contaminant exposure and its links to health outcomes, including cancer and neurodegenerative disease risks.
