This $485,838 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research team led by Professor Brian H. Clowers of Washington State University (WSU) in developing a high-performance analytical platform to explore chemical structure and behavior in the gas phase. The project aims to advance chemical separations through the use of multimodal ion chemistry and tandem ion mobility spectrometry techniques. Key objectives include characterizing structural heterogeneity of fragment ions, examining site-specific solvent interactions and isotope exchange kinetics, and conducting ion-ion reactions to evaluate chemical reactivity in gas-phase environments. The research team will utilize economical printed circuit board (PCB) technologies to build modular ion manipulation systems that can enable the isolation and study of different molecular forms, providing critical insights into chemical processes not accessible through traditional solution-based methods. The project also emphasizes workforce development through direct student engagement and plans to disseminate the open-source hardware and software components to ensure broad impact across academic, industrial, and educational communities.
