Research Interests:
The McGuffin research group is interested in the development of novel packed and open tubular capillary columns for liquid and supercritical fluid chromatography as well as electrophoresis. A goal of this research is to apply improved separation and detection techniques developed in the lab to problems of environmental significance. Specific areas of interest include the analysis and characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and perfluorinated surfactants.
