Student continues to build on their knowledge of the methods of research including the use of research literature and instruction in more advanced experimental and theoretical procedures and techniques. Students can conduct their research within the Dept of Chemistry or in a related science with approval. Under the supervision of faculty but may work closely with a Post-Doc or graduate student.

This course aims to provide an introduction to mass spectrometry (MS) theory, instrumentation with an emphasis on modern MS techniques including ionization methods, mass analyzers, and basic principles of mass spectral interpretation, students can expect to learn MS data analysis and evaluation. Live demonstrations, useful software, & tools will be used to help the students understand better how each component of a mass spectrometer works.

For students pursuing a masters degree and conducting research.

Independent research working toward doctoral degree under the supervision of assigned faculty member using appropriate techniques and instrumentation.

For doctoral research, taken before a dissertation advisor has been selected.
