Shahab A. Shamsi's research interests lie in the areas of both fundamental and applied chromatography and capillary electrophoresis methods.  Much of his group work involves interfacing various capillary-based techniques (capillary electrochromatography, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, capillary gel electrophoresis) and microbore high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to mass spectrometry (MS) for fundamental studies on chiral and achiral separations with enhanced detection.  His group has developed several unique CE-MS methods using novel micelle polymers and microemulsion polymers.  In additiion, unique CE-MS and HPLC-MS methods are being developed for high throughput screening of combinatorial libraries.  Hence, using the latest advances in separation science and detector technology, group members are involved in both theoretical and experimental work in analytical chemistry.
