Rebekah Schilberg was among the authors of an , published by Elsevier (CiteScore: 3.7; Impact Factor: 2.029).
Schilberg contributed to the investigation, formal analysis, data curation and the writing of the original draft, sharing research she began as the recipient of 91自拍论坛's Office of Undergraduate Research grant (2019-2020). On that chemistry project, "Accurate Methods Based on Molecular Rational Resonance Spectroscopy for Fast Detection of Polar Impurities in Petroleum Mixtures," Schilberg worked with mentor Dr. Sylvestre Twagirayezu and another student researcher, Ablasse Kingcaid-Ouedraogo. They presented their findings at the 2019 Texas STEM Conference and the 2020 O.U.R. Expo at 91自拍论坛.
Her article sheds light on MRR spectroscopy as a potential technique for the detection of PFOA, a product ideal for several industrial applications (such as food packaging, paintings, clothing fabrics and cleaning products), yet a subject of environmental concerns and cancer correlations.
