Michael Pettit is a first year graduate student at Baylor University. He also is a general chemistry lab teaching assistant He will earn a Doctorate in Analytical Chemistry upon completion of his research. He completed his undergraduate degree at James Madison University in May 2013 with a degree in Chemistry (ACS certified). He lived in Ashburn, Virginia before coming to Baylor University. He joined the team in November of 2013. After completion of his Doctorate degree, he plans on working towards a research position in an industrial lab or government lab.
Current Research:
Current Project: Energy Resolved Ion Mobility Deconvolution of Isobaric Mixtures-Limited ion mobility (IM) resolving power of IM-MS instruments may prevent isomer differentiation and result in erroneous analyte characterization. Recently, we showed that overlapped IM profiles can be deconvoluted using post-IM/collision-induced dissociation (CID) MS combined with SIMPLe-to-use Interactive Self-modeling Mixture Analysis (SIMPLISMA) technique. Currently, we are extending the use of self-modeling mixture analysis for energy resolved IM deconvolution of overlapped isomeric three- and four-component mixtures.
