Brief Biography of Gary M. Hieftje, Indiana University Professor Gary M. Hieftje is Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. He received the A.B. degree from Hope College, Holland, Michigan in 1964 and the PhD in 1969 from the University if Illinois under the direction of H.V. Malmstadt. From 1964 to 1965 he served as a research associate in physical chemistry at the Illinois State Geological Survey in Urbana, Illinois. In 1969, he was appointed assistant professor of chemistry at Indiana University, was promoted to associate professor in September, 1973, and to full professor in July, 1977. He received a special appointment to a Distinguished Professorship in April, 1985. His research interests include the investigation of basic mechanism in atomic emission, absorption, and fluorescence spectrometric analysis, asn the development of atomic methods of analysis. He is interested also in the on-line computer control of chemical instrumentation and experiments, the use of time-resolved luminescence processes for analysis, the application of information theory to analytical chemistry, near-infrared reflectance analysis, and the use of stochastic processes to extract basic and kinetic chemical information. He is a member of the American Chemical Society, the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, the Optical Society of America, Sigma Xi, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and Phi Mu Alpha. He was co-chairman of the 1979 Analytical Summer Symposium on Lasers in Analytical Chemistry, the chairman of the 1982 Gordon Research Conference on Analytical Chemistry, the chairman of the National Publications Committee for the Society of Applied Spectroscopy on 1983, the chairman of the Honorary Membership Committee for the Society of Applied Spectroscopy in 1985 and General Chairman of the 1987 Analytical Summer Symposium in Biotechnology. He has served on the strumentation advisory panel and editorial board of Analytical Chemistry. He currently serves on the editorial boards of Analytica Chimica Acta, Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectroscopy, Laboratory Microcomputer, Spectrochimica Acta, Part B, Advances in Inorganic Mass Spectrometry, the Analytical Chemistry Bench Top Series from Springer Verlag, Talanta, Progress in Analytical Spectroscopy, and Spectroscopy and Spectral Analysis. In 1983, he was the co-recipient of an IR-100 award for the development of the atomic absorption background correction technique that bears his name, and in the summer of 1983, he received a senior guest fellowship from the Science and Engineering Research Council of Great Britain. In 1984, he was the recipient of the Meggers Award, the Lester W. Strock Award, and the Anachem Award. In 1985, he received the American Chemical Society Chemical Instrumentation Award, and in 1986 both the Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award and the Theophilus Redwood Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry. He was also chairman (1985-86) of the Analytical Division of the American Chemical Society. In 1987 he received the American Chemical Society Award in Analytical Chemistry sponsored by the Fisher Scientific Company and the Tracy M. Sonneborn Teacher-Scholar Award from Indiana University. In that year, he was also elected to Fellowship in the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1988, he received a second R&D 100 Award (formerly the IR-100) for the development of a device and algorithm to detect contaminants and adulterants in pharmaceutical products. In 1989 he was presented the Award in Spectrochemical Analysis from the Analytical Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society. Also in 1989, he was awarded honorary rank of Fellow from Indiana Academy of Science and was co-recipient with one of his students of an award to recognize the best paper of 1988 published in the journal Spectrochimica Acta, Part B. He currently serves as President of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. Internet: http://www.chem.indiana.edu/personnel/faculty/hieftje/hieftje.htm |
