Research Interests

Dr. Carter has interests in chemometrics and other applications of statistics, mathematics, nonlinear dynamics, and computational modeling to chemistry or the environment. His recent research focus has been the calculation of confidence limits, which are indicators of the trustworthiness of quantitative results. Ongoing work of confidence limits, which began with data analysis for a particular general chemistry lab, has so far resulted in a student co-authored paper in the world's most widely circulated peer-reviewed journal of analytical chemistry, and in several presentations by students at meetings of the Missouri Academy of Science. Dr. Carter has also worked with students and presented papers in the interdisciplinary field of the relationship of science and religion.
