Erlu Feng's research uses mass spectrometry to study how ions and reactive molecules behave in the gas phase, including short-lived species like triradicals, oxenium cations, and pyridynes, as well as how they fragment or react with other molecules. This work supports both fundamental chemistry (understanding reaction mechanisms and molecular structure) and practical applications such as detecting contaminants (like nitrosamines) in pharmaceuticals and analyzing complex chemical mixtures.

Publication output rose sharply around 2021-2022 after minimal activity earlier in the decade, then settled into a steadier but lower pace of a few papers per year through 2024-2026.
