My chief interest is in laser spectroscopy using the cavity ring-down technique and laser induced fluorescence to study the potential energy surfaces and the dynamics of molecules.

Project 1 - Determination of mRNA levels by PCR techniques.

Project 2 - Effect of cadmium and lead on protein phosphorylation.
