Bradley graduated from the University of South Carolina (Columbia, South Carolina) with a BS in Chemistry and earned his PhD from the University of Illinois (Urbana–Champaign, Illinois).
He is the marketing manager for Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Madison, Wisconsin. He taught at the University of Connecticut (Storrs, Connecticut) and Valparaiso University (Valparaiso, Indiana) for a combined 15 years, and worked at Abbott Laboratories prior to becoming a field applications scientist with (then) Thermo Nicolet in 2002.
Bradley was heavily involved in the development and launch of the Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS10 FT-IR spectrometer and the Nicolet iN10 FT-IR microscope in 2008. He has been product manager for the FT-IR products since 2009. Most recently, Bradley led the teams that developed the Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS50 FT-IR spectrometer, launched in 2012, and was recently promoted to marketing manager for FT-IR microscopy products.
