Chemical technology, chromatography, solid phase microextraction, submicron lithography My industrial background in analytical chemistry and in microlithography is being applied to developing Miami University Middletown's Chemical Technology program. Scholarly activity is focused on developing effective ways to teach the chemical knowledge and skills necessary for productive technical work in industry. Laboratory-based learning is emphasized using industrial scenarios and real-world samples. Primary research interests involve separation science, focused on solid phase microextraction (SPME) as a sampling technique for gas phase samples. Presently, industry can use this technique qualitatively, but quantitative applications are problematic. My research plans include investigating the use of gas chromatographic retention data as calibration factors for sampling to overcome these problems. References 1.K. Kitredge, S. S. Marine, R. T.
