My research interests lie in the field of analytical separation techniques and multivariate data analysis. My main concern is to find a better fundamental understanding of chemical separation techniques (GC and LC), mass spectrometry, and quantification by combining chromatographic tools with mathematical separation and modeling techniques using an experimental design, optimization, and pattern recognition.
