About Heading link
Photoionization is the event in which an atom, molecule, cluster, or solid is illuminated with light and thereby ejects an electron, leaving behind a positive charge. Photoionization is the initiating event for most of the various experimental methods central to my research: ultrashort pulse laser ablation of solid material, photoionization of gas phase molecules, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of surfaces. Our research applies photoionization to surface chemical analysis to address problems in analytical chemistry, mass spectrometry, microbiology, bioengineering, and surface science. This work often requires us to construct novel instrumentation in our own laboratory, but we also use advanced instrumentation located in UIC’s centralized instrumentation facility (the Research Resources Center) or synchrotron radiation research user facilities.
- Laser Desorption Postionization Mass Spectrometric Imaging of Biofilms & Organic Films. Mass spectrometric imaging is used to probe bacterial biofilms, mammalian tissues, and other complex organic films with micron lateral and depth resolution. Molecular and elemental species are detected within intact samples in a method we have advanced called laser desorption postionization mass spectrometry (LDPI-MS) imaging. We mostly use LDPI-MS imaging and ancillary methods to probe metabolites, antibiotics, proteins, and peptides within intact biofilms with the ultimate goal of advancing novel methods of biofilm control.
- Applying Methods of Advanced Surface Analysis. We also use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and related methods to probe elemental and functional group composition of surfaces. This work has also led us to the use of ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, near edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray surface scattering, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, linear and nonlinear optical absorption of films, quartz crystal microbalance measurement of film deposition or removal, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and profilometry.
