Bio

  • Kimberly Davidson graduated from the University of Oregon in 2012 with a BS in Chemistry. She studied the molecular dynamics of diubiquitin during her undergraduate research with the Guenza group. In the Bush group, Kimberly has studied how droplet sizes and electrospray currents affect nonspecific aggregation of molecules as they are transferred into the gas phase (see Papers). She has also modeled ion emission from electrospray droplets to determine the identity of charge carriers consistent with experimental results. Currently, Kimberly is studying how different drift gases affect the elution orders and collision cross sections of small ions in a radio-frequency confining drift cell.
