Kelsey Williams is a postdoctoral researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) working on planetary instrumentation using spectroscopic techniques such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser ablation molecular isotopic spectrometry (LAMIS).
Janam Pandya is an Applications Scientist at Thermo Fisher Scientific at their Tewkesbury headquarters. Since joining Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2022, he has focused on advancing Raman spectroscopy applications for real-time process measurements, working with customers across biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, polymer, food, and clean-energy industries to implement Process Raman Analyzer technology as a Process Analytical Technology (PAT) solution. Throughout his career, Pandya has held roles at several large organizations including Abbott, Nestlé, and Ocean Spray Cranberries, where he worked on several projects that involved applying analytical technologies to solve complex industrial challenges.
Christopher Zall is an Associate Professor at Sam Houston State University.
Spiros Pergantis is a Full Professor at the University of Crete. His research interests include the development of advanced analytical chemistry techniques for determining metal species (As, Hg, Se, Sb, Sn, Cr), including metal-containing biomolecules, as well as nanoparticles in environmental and biological matrices, and also for investigating their interaction(s) with biomolecules.
Michael Coppola serves as a product manager at Milestone Inc, directing product strategy, development, and market growth initiatives. He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and physics from Central Connecticut State University. Before joining Milestone, Coppola worked in the polymer chemistry sector as a product manager, where he led efforts to commercialize nanotechnology-based additives for the paint and plastics industries. He is a named inventor on more than 60 patents and publications related to materials science, chemical formulation, and applied analytical technologies.
Vice President and co-founder of Eigenvector Research, Inc. established January 1995.
Neal Gallagher earned a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with a mathematics minor from the University of Arizona in 1992, an M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Washington in 1987 and B.S. degrees in Chemical Engineering and Engineering Physics from the University of Colorado in 1985.
Recent research includes novel algorithms for iterative target detection in hyperspectral imaging and shift-invariant tri-linearity (SIT) for modeling hyphenated chromatography data. Since founding Eigenvector in January 1995, Neal has been intimately involved in chemometrics consulting, teaching short courses and software development including algorithms for detection, classification and quantification. Specific interests include hyperspectral imaging, process modeling, multi-variate curve resolution and classical least squares modeling.
