Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher specializing in chromatography and mass spectrometry. At NCNPR, University of Mississippi, my research centers around chromatographic development for plant/fungal metabolites towards quality evaluation followed by extensive metabolomics studies including identification, species differentiation, molecular networking, and adulteration. My research interests encompass plant metabolomics including protein and non-protein amino acids characterization.
