overview Current interest is to engage quantitative analysis laboratory students in research through laboratory experience. Students will have the opportunity to participate in environmental science and toxicology projects that will transform the community of Texas Southern University. Investigation of water quality has been addressed in the third ward of Houston, TX. However, more analyses are needed to fully understand how the community is impacted. I am looking to collaborate and partner with other organizations to enhance student learning through health disparities and environmental science. Research interest is to modify cotton cellulose for applications in environmental science and biological science. The approach is to study how cotton cellulose can be useful in environmental and biological sciences using greener chemistry applications. Other research involves the use of surface analysis to determine the properties of nanoparticles and nature polymers. One study involves the design and preparation of cotton- based wound dressings for accelerated wound healing in chronic wounds. This research has led to the investigation of characterizing the surface properties of cotton cellulose, a natural polymer. Other research includes the investigation electrochemical methods using nanosized electrodes to detect trace levels of metals in soil and water. These investigations require the use of scanning electron microscopy, ATR IR and other surface analysis instruments to establish it properties on the microscopic and nanoscopic scale. Key words: Chronic wound healing, Elastase, Electrochemistry, Sensors, Biosensors, Cotton, Cellulose, Ionic Liquids, Nanoparticles, Environmental, Surface Science, Integrated Learning
