Electrochemical detection of heavy-metal ions on carbon-fiber electrodes, and contributing to the development of a microfluidic potentiostat.
Undergraduate researcher in the Microtechnology Lab at Michigan State, working on electrochemical detection of heavy-metal ions — cadmium, lead, and mercury — at low concentrations in buffer and soil solutions.
The techniques are cyclic voltammetry, differential-pulse voltammetry, and fast-scan cyclic voltammetry on carbon-fiber electrodes. Alongside the bench work, I contribute to the development of an affordable microfluidic potentiostat built around a Teensy and a custom analog front end.
Detailed writeup coming soon.
