Research: 1968-1999

B.S. Chemistry, 1963, Spring Hill College
Ph.D., Analytical Chemistry, 1968, Univ. of Florida (J. D. Winefordner)

At the University of Maryland from 1968 to 1999, my research work was in the area of analytical spectroscopy and instrumentation development; derivative and wavelength modulation spectroscopy; continuum-source simultaneous multi-element atomic absorption spectroscopy; microcomputer applications in science education; diode-array spectroscopy; digital signal processing; science education; applications of constructivist pedagogy in science education. I have worked as a consultant for many companies and have presented numerous short courses and workshops.
