For Julia, Houghton Hall is a home away from home. Julia spends a
lot of time in Room 219 working on her research project. With Dr.
Michael Milligan as her supervisor, Julia is working on a clean-up
method for dioxin analysis using GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass
spectroscopy). Julia uses a filtration array to take out different
interfering species, which consists of four different layers for the
separation. The first is multilayer silica, the second is a carbon
cartridge, the third a silica/silver nitrate layer, and the fourth
alumina. This project is a continuation of LOADS (Lake Ontario
Atmospheric Deposition Study). This was Julia's second summer doing
research, and this fall she is beginning her fifth semester of
research.
