Research Interests

The group is currently working in two major areas, these being graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry and trace metal speciation. Within these fields of interest, we are concerned with fundamental studies, instrumental development and analytical applications. Further information on these and other topics can be found below, together with references to relevant publications produced by the group.

Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
A brief description of the technique and a break-down of our work on this subject can be found here.

Trace Metal Speciation
What does speciation mean and what can you do with it? Hopefully this page will answer some of your questions.

Other Topics
Our work on miscellaneous analytical techniques, such as inductively coupled plasma spectrometry and graphite furnace atomic emission spectrometry.

Scientific Output

Conference Presentations
This is a new feature, and its success depends on whether or not the group members can be bothered to convert their Word and Excel files into a format suitable for presentation here. Health warning: Do not hold your breath waiting for that to happen!!!
