Analytical: The Measurement Science

A field of study where attention to detail really counts

Analytical science involves making chemical measurements and developing tools, methods and procedures to extract the most information out of a chemical sample.

Research Topics

  • Making measurements at the single-molecule level
  • The design of new materials for column chromatography and electrochemical sensors
  • Understanding protein structure and protein interactions
  • Single-molecule sensors and single-entity electrochemistry
  • Droplet microfluidics
  • Nanoporous materials for chemical sensing
  • New paradigms in separation science
  • DNA nanotechnology
  • Protein-DNA interactions
  • Wearable chemical sensors
  • Mass spectrometry
  • Separation sciences
  • Native top-down proteomics
  • Protein structure
