My name is Kelly Pesta, I am from Boardman High School, this is my first year in the Project Seed program, and I am very excited to be able to work in Duquesne University for the summer.  The topic I am going to be researching and working on is the "Identification of Organic Gun Residue." These last few days I have been reading and trying to understand what my topic is about.  Throughout my research learned about the many different types of mass spectrometers.  One specific type is called the Quadruple Mass Spectrometer, which is the machine that I will eventually be using.  I am excited to be researching this topic and hope to get a lot out of it throughout the summer.
