1991 Board Members Appointed instrumentation for nanometer-resolved optical spectroscopy, and ultrasensitive methods for resonance and nonresonance Raman spectroscopy of impurities.
Five new members have been selected to serve three-year terms on ANALYTICAL C H E M I S T R Y ' S Advisory Board.
Each January, membership on the board is rotated as new appointees replace those members whose terms have expired. Biographical sketches of the new members follow.
Philip LaFleur received a B.S. degree in chemistry from Idaho State College, an M.S. degree in chemistry from the University of Idaho, and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Michigan. He was employed by the National Reactor Testing Station (now the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory) and the Center for Analytical Chemistry at the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) before joining the Eastman Kodak Company in 1979. He is currently director of the analytical technology division in the manufacturing research and engineering organization.
Michelle Buchanan received a B.S. degree (1973) from the University of Kansas and a Ph.D. (1978) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She supervises the organic spectroscopy group of the analytical chemistry division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Her research interests include the development and application of methods based on trapped ion techniques, such as Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance and quadrupole ion trap MS, and the development of gas-phase processes for determining molecular structure. She is an editor of Biological Mass Spectrometry. M. Bonner Denton, professor of chemistry at the University of Arizona, applies technological advances in electronics, physics, optics, astronomy, acoustics, mechanical engineering, and computer science toward developing methods of chemical analysis and automation. Examples of his research include the selective single photoionization of complex real-world mixtures, studies of hollow anode-cathode discharges as spectroscopic sources, and the use of charge-coupled array detectors in rapid-scan and low-photon flux spectroscopy. Denton received his B.S. (chemistry) and B.A. (psychology) degrees from Lamar University (1967) and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Illinois (1972). In 1989 he received the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Chemical Instrumentation. Timothy Harris received a B.S. degree from the California Polytechnic State University (1973) and a Ph.D. from Purdue University (1978). He supervises solids characterization research at AT&T Bell Laboratories, where his interests focus on spectroscopic probes of impurity content and the structure of compound semiconductors—including nondestructive quantitative and qualitative determinations of impurities, photophysics of impurity spectroscopy, and spectroscopic probes of interface structure. Currently Harris is working on selective excited luminescence schemes that can lead to quantitative impurity data,
Michael Thompson, professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Toronto and staff research scientist at the Max Bell Research Centre of Toronto General Hospital, received a B.Sc. degree in chemistry from the University of Wales (1966) and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from McMaster University (1970). His research interests include electron spectroscopy, archaeometry, lipid bilayer and Langmuir-Blodgett film physical chemistry, and chemical and biosensor technology. In 1989 he received the Fisher Scientific Award of the Canadian Society for Chemistry for his contributions to the field of analytical chemistry. Established in the 1940s to advise the JOURNAL'S Editors, the board meets formally once a year at ACS headquarters. The board members are a vital link between the editors and the analytical community, providing guidance and advice on editorial content and policy. Leaving the Advisory Board are Michael Epstein, National Institute of Standards and Technology; Peter Jurs, Pennsylvania State University; Larry Pachla, Sterling Drug, Inc.; Ralph Sturgeon, National Research Council of Canada; and Mary Wirth, University of Delaware. Continuing to serve on the Board are Bernard Bulkin, BP Research Center; Renaat Gijbels, University of Antwerp, Belgium; William Hancock, Genentech; Thomas Isenhour, Kansas State University; James Jorgenson, University of North Carolina; Alan Marshall, Ohio State University; Sam Perone, San Jose State University; John Rabolt, IBM Corporation; Debra Rolison, Naval Research Laboratory; Shigeru Terabe, Himeji Institute of Technology (Japan); George Wilson, University of Kansas; and Richard Zare, Stanford University.
