Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Justin R. Chimka's research focuses on analytical chemistry, particularly concerning water quality and chemometric modeling. His work investigates methods for quantifying specific chemical compounds in drinking water, addressing challenges such as interferences from natural organic matter and the presence of emerging contaminants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Chimka has published research on techniques for nitrite quantification using second derivative chemometric models, which help mitigate interferences under chloraminated drinking water distribution system conditions. His publications also explore model selection strategies for regression analyses, including both multiple linear regression and logistic regression, particularly within budget constraints. Further research addresses the quantitation of chloronitramide anions in tap water and the use of diffusive gradients in thin-film passive samplers for PFAS measurement to facilitate compliance monitoring.

His scholarly contributions are reflected in a h-index of 9, with 73 total publications and 1,450 citations. Chimka is a Co-Principal Investigator on a $7,000,000 National Science Foundation grant for the E-RISE Rll: Arkansas Smart Transportation Research Incubator through Data Engineering and Science. He leads a research group and collaborates with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Julian L. Fairey and Ronald L. Rardin.
