The primary focus of Professor Pawliszyn's research program is the
design of highly automated and integrated instrumentation for the
isolation of analytes from complex matrices and the subsequent
separation, identification and determination of these species. The
primary separation tools used by his group are Gas Chromatography,
Liquid Chromatography and Capillary Electrophoresis coupled to
variety of detections systems, including range of mass spectrometry
techniques. Currently his research is focusing on elimination of
organic solvents from the sample preparation step to facilitate
on-site monitoring and in-vivo analysis. Several alternative
techniques to solvent extraction are investigated including use of
coated fibers, packed needles, membranes and supercritical fluids.
Dr. Pawliszyn is exploring application of the computational and
modeling techniques to enhance performance of sample preparation,
chromatographic separations and detection. The major area of his
interest involves the development and application of imaging
detection techniques for microcolumn chromatography, capillary
electrophoresis and micro chip separation devices.
