معرفی
Alexander Gundlach-Graham is an Assistant Professor at Iowa State University, specializing in advanced mass spectrometry techniques and nanoparticle analysis. His work focuses on developing novel methodologies using inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ICP-TOFMS) for characterizing engineered nanoparticles, environmental pollutants, and geological materials. He has pioneered techniques such as single-particle ICP-TOFMS for multi-element fingerprinting and online microdroplet calibration, enabling high-precision quantification of nanoparticles in complex matrices. His research bridges environmental science, materials science, and analytical chemistry, with applications in forensic analysis, water quality monitoring, and semiconductor material characterization.
Dr. Gundlach-Graham’s educational background includes expertise in geochemistry and analytical instrumentation. He has contributed to instrument development, including digital quadrupole systems and capillary electrophoresis-ICP-MS interfaces. His work frequently integrates machine learning for data analysis and classification of nanoparticle populations.
His research portfolio includes over 50 peer-reviewed articles, with recent emphases on wildfire-induced nanoparticle emissions, 3D printer aerosol toxicity, and nanomaterial fate in wastewater systems. He collaborates with environmental agencies and industrial partners to advance real-world analytical solutions.
