Research Interests:

His current research activities involve the development of novel mass spectrometers for investigation in various fields such as physics, astrophysics, chemistry, biology, medical science, pharmacy, environmental science etc., as well as ion optics and the investigation of ion-molecule reactions in an ion trap. A highlight of his recent work has been the development of the multi-turn time-of-flight mass spectrometers with high mass resolving power.
