David Bomse, Principal Research Scientist
Ph.D. (Chemistry), California Institute of Technology, 1980
M.A. (Chemistry), Cambridge University, 1976
Sc.B. (Chemistry), Brown University, 1975
Dr. Bomse joined the staff of Southwest Sciences as a Senior Research Scientist in August, 1988 and was promoted to Principal Research Scientist in 1991. His previous experience includes six years at the Corporate Research Laboratories of Exxon Research and Engineering Company where he was a Senior Chemist. During1980-1982, Dr. Bomse was a J. Robert Oppenheimer Fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. His principal fields of research include the development and application of laser-based and mass spectrometric analytical methods. He is currently studying high sensitivity FM spectroscopic techniques using diode lasers for measurement of toxic industrial gases and trace gaseous impurities.
Dr. Bomse's accomplishments include 1) invention of a dual-modulation line-locking method for use with wavelength modulation spectroscopy, 2) developing a fully automated, open path monitor for hydrogen fluoride detection using diode laser spectroscopy, 3) demonstrating wavelength modulation spectroscopy with minimum detectable absorbances near 10-7, 4) invention of a novel mass spectrometric method for the direct analysis of mixtures, and 5) application of wavelength modulation methods to photo acoustic spectroscopy.
Dr. Bomse is an author of 35 publications, holds 8 patents, and has 1
patent pending.
