2008-09-12T16:28:53-05:00 Art joined the staff of the Research Resources Center in 1984 as an assistant in the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory after receiving a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from the University of South Carolina. There he had determined the NMR properties of boron hydride and organo-borane dimer and trimer cage compounds and organic selenium compounds. He took on additional duties as head of the Research Resources Center Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Laboratory just a few months after coming to the Research Resources Center. In 1995 he took on another facility as head of Microprobe, Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy Laboratory (WDS) teaching people how to operate an electron microprobe and maintaining the instrument. In fall 1999 he began managing the RRC Mass Spectrometry Laboratory where he now directs the analysis of all service samples. In February 2000, the AASL lab was closed and the IL Vidoe-22 was moved to Professor Krishna Reddy's lab in the Department of Civil and Materials Engineering. Shortly thereafter the Microprobe, Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy Laboratory (WDS) was put under the auspices of the Electron Microscopy Service (EMS). Several students have written thesis with atomic absorption spectroscopic determination of elements as a main component of their research. He has served as a member of the thesis defense committee of one student who used wavelength dispersive spectroscopy in their thesis research and for several students who have used mass spectrometry in their thesis research. He has helped many researchers setup and perform complicated nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. He has written many computer programs and scripts to process NMR data, to acquire, process, plot and report AA data, an on-line instrument schedule, and has performed as system administrator of UNIX workstations in the NMR lab. Art has published four papers in NMR of inorganic compounds. art&#64;&#117;&#105;&#99;&#46;&#101;&#100;&#117; true 1 John Arthur 13 Anderson 312-355-2124 image/jpeg Art Anderson .jpg 659456 2009-08-05T09:23:04-05:00 2008-09-12T16:30:05-05:00 - zarbieva@uic.edu true 6 Zarema 14 Arbieva 312-355-1608 image/jpeg Zarema.jpg 255696 2008-11-26T10:23:08-06:00 2008-09-12T16:32:10-05:00 - mariekb@uic.edu false 7 Kristine 15 Baraoidan 312-355-0679 image/jpeg Kristine.jpg 274247 2008-11-26T10:26:29-06:00 2009-06-03T17:50:20-05:00 - jennyh@uic.edu true 15 Jenny 51 Beck 312-996-7674 2009-08-17T14:25:32-05:00 2008-09-12T16:33:16-05:00 - abruno3@uice.du false 7 Aaron 16 Bruno 312-355-0679 image/jpeg Aaron.jpg 245269 2008-11-26T10:04:49-06:00 2008-09-12T16:34:35-05:00 - abruno@uic.edu true 7 Annette 17 Bruno 312-355-0679 image/jpeg Annette.JPG 17013 2009-07-27T16:28:58-05:00 2008-11-07T15:36:23-06:00 - ccchau@uic.edu false 7 Cecilia 18 Chau 312-413-9290 image/jpeg Cici2.jpg 218534 2008-11-26T10:32:51-06:00 2008-11-07T15:38:07-06:00 - jchen@uic.edu false 8 Juan 19 Chen 312-996-2775 image/jpeg Juan2.jpg 384256 2008-11-26T10:05:58-06:00 2008-07-15T14:27:27-05:00 <p>Mei Ling Chen, M.D. is an experienced pathologist who was a Research Professor in the Dept. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Director of the Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) Core Facility at the <a href="http://www.unmc.edu/">University of Nebraska Medical Center</a>.
