Assistant ProfessorElements are the fundamental building blocks of matter, consisting of atoms. To date, scientists have discovered 118 different elements. Currently, I am developing measurement techniques for these elements utilizing an instrument known as an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). Through these techniques, my research aims to elucidate the metabolic pathways of elements within living organisms.
