Research Activities

My research interests are drawn from the fields of electrochemistry, applied mathematics, and environmental issues, focussing on the electrochemical applications of mathematical and computational techniques. In particular, studies in this laboratory seek to devise new methods for studying the transport and chemical processes that occur at electrodes and in their vicinity. As well, we seek new ways of extracting useful parameters from the results of electrochemical experiments. Our tools are chemical experimentation, mathematical analysis and computer simulation.

The following topics are, or have recently been, under study:

  • Algorithm design
  • Capillary electrophoresis
  • Design and exploitation of novel electrochemical cells
  • Digital simulation
  • Electrochemical sensors
  • Neural networks
  • Persistence in time series
  • Porous media
  • Properties of mathematical functions
  • Properties of microelectrodes
  • Studies of kinetics at electrodes
  • Techniques for handling electrochemical signals and data
  • The fractional calculus and its applications
  • Transport processes
  • Voltammetry

For more detailed information on my research interests, see the list of my recent articles.
For information on the books and book chapters I have authored or coauthored, see the list of some of my other publications.
