Research InterestsResearch Interests The main focus of my research is the development and application of physics techniques for the in vivo measurement of trace elements. I have studied lead, cadmium, manganese and aluminum. Currently, I have graduate students who are developing techniques to measure arsenic in skin, gadolinium in muscle and kidney, fluorine in bone and indium in lung. The techniques they are predominantly using are x-ray fluorescence and neutron activation analysis. I also have a graduate student who is developing the technology to be able to use ionoluminescence as an analysis technique. This summer, I have an undergraduate research student who is using various tecniques to study the composition of ancient coins. Students SupervisedStudents Supervised Dhruv Sheth, Medical Physics, M.Sc. His project is to further develop a system to measure indium and tin oxides in the lung. Courses TaughtCourses Taught
