EXPERIENCE
Ames Laboratory, 1997-Present, Chemist, 1991-1997, Associate Chemist
Environmental Technology Development Program (since April 1991). Development of
environmental analytical techniques based on laser spectroscopy, ablation, ICP-atomic
emission, and mass spectrometry.

RESEARCH INTERESTS AND EXPERTISE
Development of optical and mass spectrometric diagnostics to probe analytical composition and speciation, dynamical processes, state selective reaction mechanisms, and reaction product distributions of energetic radicals and ionic species present in flames, discharges, plasmas, and atmospheric reactions.
Basic research leading to creation of devices or processes which utilize selectivity and control of highly energetic species present in these systems. Development of analytical and material recovery techniques as applied to the DOE Environmental Management program. Use of ICP atomic emission analysis, laser ablation sampling and cleaning, TOF mass spectrometry, novel optical instrumentation, and FTIR analysis of organic contaminants.
