Research Faculty Member Profile
    • James L. Drummond, PhD
    • Professor
    • Research Interests:
    • My current funded research is focused on the fracture characteristics and leached components of dental composites (NIDCR) and dental wastewater analysis. The fracture characteristics project is a cooperative effort between Dentistry, Engineering, and Chemistry at UIC and Illinois Institute of Technology. The wastewater analysis involves the College of Dentistry, the School of Public Health, and the College of Engineering.
