Research Interests
My background in natural products chemistry and organic structure analysis has directed my research interests towards the isolation, spectroscopic structure elucidation, and biological testing of chemical compounds from diverse organismal sources. Continuing interests include dietary supplement regulation, ethnomedicinal uses of tropical plants, and applying chemometrics to analyze problems in natural products chemistry.
