D. Bruce Chase
is a senior research fellow in the Corporate Center for Analytical Sciences
E. I. DuPont de Nemours as a research chemist in the Spectroscopy Division
of the Central Research Department. Dr. Chase's primary area of research
is in vibrational spectroscopy, FT-IR and Raman techniques, and applications
to industrial analytical problems. Specific areas of FT-IR spectroscopy
include infrared emission, diffuse reflection and in situ studies
of photo-induced reactions. In Raman spectroscopy his work has involved
the development of a microRaman capability using a laser microscope. In
collaboration with Dr. Tomas Hirschfeld (deceased) he developed an FT-Raman
spectrometer which demonstrated the utility of near infrared excitation.
He has also worked extensively in the area of multichannel detection in
Raman spectroscopy, using both silicon based CCD's and non silicon detectors
such as PtSi, Ge, and InGaAs arrays. Current research programs involve in-situ
determinations of fiber orientation using Raman scattering, and multichannel/multiplex
approaches to detection in combinatorial chemistry. He was the 1989 winner
of the Williams-Wright award, 1990 EAS New York Section Gold Medal awardee,
he has received the 1994 SSP Award from the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh
and is co-winner of the 1994 Bunsen-Kirchhoff Prize from the German Chemical
Society.
