Research Assistant
, Florida State University
, Advisor John G. Dorsey, 1996-2001
x
Designed and tested instrumentation for the introduction of purely
electroosmotically driven gradient separations in capillary
electrochromatography.
x
Developed an instrumental design for the use of “High Voltage” capillary
electrochromatography/capillary electrophoresis. This system allows for
faster electroosmotically driven separations, with decreased background
noise.
x
Studied the use of high viscosity solvents in chromatographic separations
with electroosmotic flow. Electrochromatography is not limited by pressure,
therefore, it is possible to use unconventional solvents to increase mobile
phase strength and tune selectivity.

Advisor, Thomas Chester and G. Ed Burton Summer 1999
x
Studied the use and feasibility of enhanced fluidity mobile phases in
electroosmotically driven separations.
