Peter R. Griffiths
has been working in the field of vibrational spectroscopy for over 30 years.
His research group is currently developing a novel open-path FT-IR spectrometer
for continuous atmospheric monitoring, using a variety of chemometric techniques,
to identify and quantify analytes of interest. Working with Manning Applied
Technology, Griffiths' group is also constructing an ultra-rapid-scanning
interferometer that allows full infrared spectra to be measured in as short
a time as one millisecond. In addition his students are applying surface-enhanced
infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectrometry to enhance the sensitivity of the
direct-deposition HPLC/FT-IR interface and spectroelectrochemical measurements.
Finally, the distribution of functional groups on membranes is being studied
by Raman mapping and imaging. He has won a number of awards including the
the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh Award, the Bomem-Michelson Award,
and the Prëgl medal of the Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry.
He is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Idaho. Dr. Peter R. Griffiths, Professor of Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, 83844-2343 Last Updated: July 19, 2007 |
