This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) project, supported in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, focusses on the development and characterization of novel fiber-optic sensors for the determination of part-per-billion concentrations of pesticides in real environmental samples. Professor Booksh and his students at Arizona State University will develop a variety of such sensors including antibody immobilized devices that utilize attenuated total reflectance of their surface plasmon resonance signals in order to achieve selectivity and sensitivity. The probe geometry will be optimized for this application and multivariate calibration algorithms will be used to improve data quality when system parameters vary. This CAREER research project will also expose students at the undergraduate and graduate levels to the power of multivariate methods when analytical measurements involve complex real world samples. Professor Booksh will also mentor disabled students interested in scientific careers. The determination of the concentrations of pesticides in the environment is an important health problem that is highly complex due to the variability of real world sample composition. Professor Booksh and his students at Arizona State University will develop fiber-optic sensors based on antibody/antigen reactions that produce analytical signals that can be reliably interpreted over time. This CAREER project will provide students with a stimulating research experience in an area of immense societal importance. The extreme sensitivity and selectivity of antibody/antigen reactions coupled with fiber-optic sensor probes will be exploited using attenuated total reflectance of surface plasmon resonance signals that follow these reactions. In addition to the pedagogical value of teaching students useful applications of this chemistry Professor Booksh will mentor disabled students interested in scientific careers.

该教师的早期职业发展（职业）项目在分析和表面化学计划中得到了支持，重点是新型光纤传感器的开发和表征，以确定实际环境样品中每十亿个浓度的农药。 Booksh教授及其在亚利桑那州立大学的学生将开发各种此类传感器，包括固定的抗体设备，这些设备利用其表面等离子体共振信号的全部反射率，以达到选择性和敏感性。 探针几何形状将针对此应用进行优化，当系统参数变化时，将使用多元校准算法来提高数据质量。 当分析测量涉及复杂的现实世界样本时，该职业研究项目还将在本科和研究生级别的学生接触多元方法的力量。 Booksh教授还将指导对科学职业感兴趣的残疾学生。 确定环境中农药浓度是一个重要的健康问题，由于现实世界样本组成的可变性，它非常复杂。 Booksh教授及其学生在亚利桑那州立大学的学生将基于抗体/抗原反应的光纤传感器，这些传感器会产生可以可靠地解释的分析信号。 这个职业项目将为学生提供巨大社会重要性领域的刺激性研究经验。 使用遵循这些反应的表面等离子体共振信号的衰减总反射率，将利用抗体/抗原反应与光纤传感器探针结合的极端灵敏度和选择性。 除了教学学生的有用的化学教授Booksh的有用应用外，还将指导对科学职业感兴趣的学生。
