Stillwater Scientific Instruments, developer and manufacturer of advanced analytical instrumentation, announces that Stephen Lammert has joined to lead development of a line of new mass spectrometers
Stephen Lammert brings close to 30 years of experience in the mass spectrometry field in government, commercial, and university settings.
"Steve has a wealth of expertise in building mass spectrometry instruments and leading project teams, and his talent and knowledge will strengthen the company's ability to address our current development efforts and expand in strategic directions for future product applications," says Brian Frederick, co-founder of Stillwater Scientific.
"He will work closely with our strong research and development team to help us use our innovative technology to develop instruments that will set a new standard in performance." Lammert's extensive commercial experience began nearly 30 years ago when he worked as an applications chemist for early mass spectrometry leaders Perkin-Elmer and Thermo Finnigan.
His more recent assignments include consulting for Palmar Technologies/Brigham Young University and Research Triangle Institute; and numerous lead R+D roles at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, including senior research staff member and as head of analytical spectroscopy section of the chemical and analytical sciences division.
At Purdue University's Department of Chemistry, Lammert's research covered a broad range of mass spectrometry, with a focus on quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry, including MS/MS techniques.
At Stillwater, Lammert will lead the development of the next-generation product line that will include miniaturized technology.
His experience in working for the Department of Defense and Department of Energy while at Oak Ridge National Laboratory will aid Stillwater's expansion into the homeland security marketplace.
Lammert currently holds a Department of Defense secret security clearance.
Lammert is a member of several professional societies, including the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, the American Chemical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the International Mass Spectrometry Society.
He received a bachelor's degree from Indiana University, and received his PhD in analytical chemistry from Purdue University.
