My projects included work on optical diagnostics of enclosed ICP designed for trace analysis of reactive specialty gases, where I elucidated novel effects in a halogen-gas ICP and significantly improved its detection capability. I designed and tested an interface between analytical ICP-mass spectrometer and gas chromatography (GC-ICP-MS) and has managed projects on development of laser-induced gas breakdown spectroscopic (LIBS) and gas-chromatographic analyzers for high-purity gases used in the semiconductor industry. I was the Applied Spectra’s lead on successful implementation of a multi-sensor data fusion project. My software and database experience also includes the development and administration of the concept, acquisition and classification of information for a major database on laser-based techniques and technologies. I have served as a manuscript/proposal reviewer and authored more than 120 publications and presentations, including 3 book chapters and several patents on analytical methods. I supervised MS and PhD students, and instructed microwave sample preparation courses.
