Faculty Honors

Dr. Joseph Sneddon

2003 A. A. Benedetti-Pichler Award

Dr. Sneddon attended the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, obtaining a B.Sc. (honors) in chemistry in 1976, an M.Sc. in instrumental methods of analysis in 1978, and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry in 1981. His research interests are in the general area of trace metals in various samples by atomic spectroscopy. His major contributions have been in the area of laser-induced breakdown spectrometry and the use of impaction-graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry for the direct determination of metals in air. Recently, his focus has shifted to more environmental samples using standard atomic spectroscopic techniques.

He is the author or coauthor of almost 150 research papers and original articles. He is the editor of the book series "Advances in Atomic Spectroscopy" (published by Elsevier Science, Amsterdam), with Vol. 7 published late in 2002. He has edited or written several books, including "Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectrometry," 2000, and has been the editor of the Microchemical Journal since 1990. He was recently appointed editor of Applied Spectroscopy Reviews.

He will receive the award at the Eastern Analytical Symposium in Somerset, N. J., in November.
