معرفی
Anyin Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of New Hampshire, leading the Li+ Group. Her research focuses on advancing the fundamental understanding and practical applications of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), particularly in addressing its limitations through innovative approaches.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Chemistry, Purdue University
- B.S. in Chemistry, Beijing Normal University
Research Interests:
The Li+ Group explores critical questions in ESI-MS, such as achieving the lowest possible flow rates and ionization currents, generating the smallest initial charged droplets, and defining the characteristics of an ideal ESI source. Their work spans analytical chemistry, mass spectrometry, surface science, and biomolecular science, leading to the development of novel ESI regimes like sub-channel and femtoampere modes. These advancements offer superior performance for analyzing hydrophilic compounds like proteins, glycans, and glycosylated molecules.
Recent Publications:
Recent work includes studies on glycan homologue ionization, ultra-low current ESI for perfluorinated sulfonic acids, and the use of high-resistance resistors in femtoamp and picoamp ESI. These publications highlight the group's efforts to push the boundaries of ESI-MS sensitivity and applicability.
