Texas Tech University
Biography
Gerardo Gamez obtained his B.Sc. at 乐天堂app下载 University of Texas at El Paso, USA, where he performed research with Prof. Dr. Gardea-Torresdey in 乐天堂app下载 area of environmental chemistry pertaining to 乐天堂app下载 use of plant tissues to filter heavy metal contamination from aqueous media. He also obtained his M.Sc. in 乐天堂app下载 Gardea-Torresdey group developing methods to recover noble metals from aqueous media and new processes to produce noble metal nanoparticles. He obtained his PhD in Analytical Chemistry at Indiana University-Bloomington, USA, with Prof. Dr. Hieftje, where he employed laser and optical emission diagnostic techniques in fundamental studies of plasmas used in analytical spectrochemistry. He also received 乐天堂app下载 first Richard Payling Award for his work on 乐天堂app下载 development of GDOES elemental mapping, co-developed a plasma based ambient mass spectrometry (AMS) source, and served as 乐天堂app下载 chair for 乐天堂app下载 Indiana Section of 乐天堂app下载 Society for Applied Spectroscopy. His postdoctoral work at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, with Prof. Dr. Zenobi, involved developing AMS methods and exploring 乐天堂app下载 possibilities of near-field laser ablation techniques. He 乐天堂app下载n worked as a Scientist in 乐天堂app下载 Laboratory for Mechanics of Materials and Nanostructures at EMPA Thun, Switzerland, where he developed methods and instrumentation in glow discharge spectroscopy, and served as coordinator and manager for GLADNET, an EC FP6 program research-training network. In 2013, he joined 乐天堂app下载 faculty at Texas Tech University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry where his research focuses on developing instrumentation and methods for multi-dimensional analysis, based on plasma OES and AMS, as well as plasma fundamental studies. He was awarded 乐天堂app下载 inaugural Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry Emerging Investigator Lectureship in 2016, and received 乐天堂app下载 2020 Young Plasma Scientist Award at 乐天堂app下载 Winter Conference for Plasma Spectrochemistry. He has coauthored more than 70 peer-reviewed publications.
