Brief Biography of James D. Wineforder James D. Winefordner, born December 31st, 1931, in Geneseo, Illinois,
is the man. He is the first of two sons of Carl and Marjorie Winefordner.
Due to a series of unusual circumstances influenced by the Korean
war, Jim did all of his B.S., M.S. and Ph. D. studies at the University
of Illinois. He was awarded the Doctorate of Philosophy degree in
August of 1958. He stayed on as a post doctoral asssociate for a
period of one year. Jim shed his winter coat and came to the University
of Florida in 1959 as an Assistant Professor in Analytical Chemistry.
He quickly moved from the world of electrochemistry (JDW's Ph.D.
Dissertation was on null-point potentiometry) to spectrochemical
analysis. Since then Jim has been a pioneer in the fields of atomic
and molecular spectroscopy, publishing over 850 papers and book
chapters and supervising 145 Ph.D. students (as well as dozens of
masters students, postdoctoral associates, and visiting scientists).
Jim has served as the editor of John Wiley and Sons' Chemical Analysis
series, and has been on the editorial advisory board for several
journals and national organizations. Over the years Jim has accomplished
many remarkable tasks and has received many awards, all of which
can be learned about in his resume.
