Research
Our current projects as well as out past research
01
Origin of Life
What if we could see into the past and know what was happening on an early earth before life was present? Through our experiments we try to offer a window.
02
Tip Enhanced Laser Deorption
Tip Enhanced Laser Desorption (TELD) stands at the forefront of scientific innovation, seamlessly integrating Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) with offline chemical analysis to provide simultaneous, highly sensitive chemical, and topographical information under atmospheric pressure conditions.
03
Chemistry in Archaeology
The old adage you are what you eat (and drink) is perhaps the greatest indicator of culture, status and ethnic identity. In anthropological terms this is referred to as food-ways analysis. We will use resonant ionization mass spectrometry to provide direct evidence of food-ways from ancient ceramic drinking vessels
