This $470,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the development of new analytical detection and processing tools for the characterization of complex mixtures, with a focus on dissolved organic matter (DOM). Researchers at Florida International University are creating a platform that combines ion mobility spectrometry and ultra-high-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (IMSN-FT-ICR MSn) to analyze DOM at the molecular structural level. They are also developing complementary data acquisition, processing, and visualization tools. Additionally, the project expands the existing FIUMASS educational and outreach program to enhance learning and exposure to modern mass spectrometry techniques, particularly for underrepresented minority students, through activities such as seminar series, curriculum development, laboratory open-houses, and summer internships.
