Tale of the ant trail
Ants might not be particularly well known for their expertise in analytical chemistry, but two US researchers have successfully employed them to analyse mass spectrometry (MS) data.
The State of the Art Electronic Noses
Cristina Davis and a team of researchers are working on a sniffer that can tell the difference between a sick citrus tree and a healthy one.
An Inspired New Way to Mine Data
Researcher Weixiang Zhao, working with Assistant Professor Cristina Davis in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, has discovered a novel way to mine information from mass spectrometry data. This new strategy for data analysis could ultimately lead to better, earlier diagnosis of disease. Their findings were published in a recent issue of Analytica Chimica Acta.
NSF CAREER Award for Horsley
David A. Horsley, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, has received a prestigious NSF CAREER Award to support research in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS).
