Research and Creative Activity Directory

Congratulations on finding the Research and Creative Activity Directory! The purpose of this directory is to provide you with a listing of potential research/creative activity opportunities that you may search by department and the semester that you would like to work.

You may search by department and date. For example, if you are looking for a chemistry project for summer 2022, type 'summer 2022 chemistry' into the search bar.

Once you identify a potential project, send an email of interest to the faculty member listed. In the email, you should introduce yourself and tell the potential faculty mentor what you would like to do and when (spring/summer/fall semester). The faculty mentor will let you know about the next steps to apply to work on the project. Please note that contacting a faculty mentor from this data base is not a guarantee that you will work with them.

Jessica Heimann Chemistry jeheimann@salisbury.edu Fall 2024 Inorganic Chemistry/Art Conservation Science
Learn More +
My lab uses a combined experimental and computational approach to understand the chemical mixtures and spectroscopic properties of works of art. Students will explore a class of pigments known as lake pigments, which are coordination compounds prepared by precipitating organic dye molecules with inorganic salts. We aim to understand the effect of the inorganic salt on the pigment properties. Students not only gain hands-on experience using advanced characterization techniques and high-performance computing, but also delve into the history books to learn the traditional methods of pigment and paint preparation. Please contact me for more information.

My lab looks at the biochemistry of RNA and DNA. We use fluorescent techniques to explore how RNA and DNA interact with metal ions and proteins in order to develop assays for human disease. We also look at chemistry of nucleotides and nucleic acids under early Earth conditions to study the origin of life on this planet.
