Eiszner Family Endowed Chair in Chemistry August 2008–present Director, Carver Biotechnology Center September 2002–August 2012 William H. and Janet G. Lycan Professor of Chemistry November 2001–August 2008 Professor of Chemistry August 1999–October 2001 Associate Professor of Chemistry July 1996–July 1999 Assistant Professor of Chemistry July 1991–July 1996 Research emphasis is both analytical chemistry and the study of cell-cell signaling. The major areas of analytical technology development involve small volume peptidomics and metabolomics. Such measurements involve enhancements to capillary electrophoresis separation methods, laser-based detection methods, MALDI sampling techniques, nanoliter volume NMR and micro/nanofluidic sampling. The second group theme relates to cell-cell signaling. This includes neuroscience (the discovery of novel neurochemical pathways, new signaling molecules, their distribution, and function in a range of animal models) as well as quorum sensing and other aspects of cell-cell signaling in microbial communities.

  • Lambeth Business Intelligence
    Lambeth Business Intelligence An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science. Prepared by: James Chen Ben Sarkis ________________________ ________________________ Chris Fernández Rachel Whalen ________________________ ________________________ Submitted to: Vincent J. Manzo, WPI Humanities and Arts Department Jianyu Liang, WPI Mechanical Engineering Department Noel Hatch, London Borough of Lambeth Business Intelligence Abstract Lambeth, a central borough of London, is undergoing large population growth and a shrinking budget. This strains the Lambeth Council’s services, so they have chosen to integrate a Business Intelligence [BI] system to improve efficiency. Our project encouraged the staff who gather and use data to incorporate this BI system. After gathering information through interviews and surveys, we developed an integration plan through workshops and a poster. However, many staff members do not use the BI system due to lack of knowledge or perceived uselessness. More workshops, surveys, and interviews will aid the use of this system amongst the council. Executive Summary Business Intelligence BI is a technology-driven process for analyzing data and converting it into useful information. It has helped businesses, corporate executives, governments, councils, and the health industry among other organizations make informed decisions. Several case studies further demonstrated the usefulness of BI. A suburb in Sweden, called Jä rfä lla Kommun, implemented BI in the contact center of the municipality that improved decision making and the quality of life of its citizens. In addition, a hospital in Southern Taiwan incorporated a BI-based SQL system to streamline information and meet quality standards.

    Unit 1 – Atomic Structure and Nuclear Chemistry Introduction to the atom Modern Atomic Theory All matter is composed of atoms Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions. However, these changes CAN occur in nuclear reactions! Every atom has different properties from other atoms Ex: grinding down a gold ring Modern Atomic Theory Wait, it’s “only” a theory? Why are we learning it then? •A theory is a powerful term in science Theory -A set of tested hypotheses that gives an overall explanation of some natural phenomenon. Ex: Cell theory & Evolutionary theory We can now see atoms …sort of In 1981 a STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) was created. - We can see them and manipulate them. The Kanji characters for "atom." This image was formed by using the tiny tip of an STM to pick up individual atoms of iron and place them on a copper (111) surface. Nanotechnology is coming Atoms can be moved and molded to make various devices such as molecular motors Structure of the Atom Accessing Prior Knowledge 1. Based on your previous science classes, draw a generic atom and label where you’d find the nucleus, protons, neutrons, & electrons. 2. For a common beryllium atom, what is the: a) # protons? b) # neutrons? c) # electrons?

  • Lunar Rock Chemistry Supports Big-Smash Theory Small Differences in Oxygen-Isotope Ratios Help Reveal How the Moon Was Formed
    NATURE | NEWS Lunar rock chemistry supports big-smash theory Small differences in oxygen-isotope ratios help reveal how the Moon was formed. Alexandra Witze 05 June 2014 NASA Most researchers believe the Moon formed after a protoplanet struck Earth 4.5 billion years ago. A minor chemical difference between Earth and Moon rocks could have big implications for theories about how the Moon was born. Moon rocks contain a tiny bit more of the rare isotope oxygen-17 than do the rocks on Earth, say geochemists who measured oxygen using very precise methods. “It changes the nature of the debate,” says Robin Canup, a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, who was not involved in the study. “If the difference between Earth and the Moon is a small amount as opposed to zero, we need to know that.” Most researchers think that the Moon formed in the very early days of the Solar System, 4.5 billion years ago, when a large protoplanet smashed into the embryonic Earth. Debris from the collision mingled together and then settled into orbit around Earth, where it coalesced into the Moon. If that were the case, however, scientists would expect to see more of the remains of the original impactor in the Moon. The chemistry of Moon rocks would be different from that of Earth rocks. “The big question was always, why do we not see this difference, why are Earth and the Moon so similar?” says Daniel Herwartz, an isotope geochemist at the University of Cologne in Germany and a member of the study team.
