Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Idaho Falls, ID
Associate Scientist: 10/1999 - 07/2002
Used novel Ion Trap Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (IT-SIMS), Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, and Charles Evans TRIFT Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (TOF-SIMS) for analytical analysis on a variety of solid samples. Two main research topics included study of gas-phase aluminosilicate ion-molecule reaction kinetics with neutral gases, and the investigation of differences between surface Cs adsorption and bulk Cs adsorption to soils.
