Research Interests
Drs. Eugene and Fereshteh Billiot are husband and wife and
work as a team. They have three main areas of ongoing research.
The primary focus of their research is investigating and elucidating
factors responsible for chiral recognition with media specifically
designed for use as chiral pseudostationary phases in capillary
electrophoresis (Eugene was recently awarded an NSF CAREER grant
to conduct this research). Another area of research focuses
on an examination of the distribution, fate, and effect of endocrine
disruptors in the environment and the development of bioassays
to screen for endocrine disruption activity. The third area
of research is a collaborative project with Dr. Suzzette Chopin,
which focuses on identification of active components in herbal
remedies (for more details, see the research description of
Dr. Chopin below). In the last five years, the Billiots have
mentored the research of six graduate students and 38 undergraduates.
Their students have matriculated at Rice, Cornell, Emory, UCLA,
and MIT. Dr. Eugene Billiot’s commitment to mentoring
is highlighted by his selection (one of eight faculty members
so chosen) for the University Academic Center for Enrichment,
which mentors at-risk undergraduate students.
