Dr. Marcus Wise, a Ph.D. chemist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), is the third ORNL scientist to be involved in the testing of air samples taken from Casey’s trunk. His CV begins on page 41 of the report on air testing. Dr. Wise holds a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Purdue University. Dr. Wise has been with ORNL since 1984, serving first as a member of the Research Staff in the Analytical Chemistry Division. He was then named Leader of the Instrumentation Group in the Chemical and Analytical Sciences Division after which he was named a Senior Research Scientist in the Chemical Sciences Division. He is currently Leader of the Environmental Mass Spectrometry Group in the Chemical Sciences Division.
His honors and awards include being the recipient of an IR-100 Award for his work with the Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer (CBMS) Team; a Lockheed Martin Energy Research (LMER) Award for the CBMS team work; a Martin Marietta Energy Systems (MMES) Award for his work in Direct Sampling Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry (DSITMS); and an R&D 100 Award. He is lasted as an inventor on 7 U.S. patents, 1 foreign patent and 3 technology transfer licenses.
Dr. Wise has over 25 years of experience developing techniques and instrumentation to utilizing mass spectrometry in the “rapid analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), organic pollutants and chemical weapons in air, water, and soil samples.” He is a coauthor on the EPA Method for rapid screening of the presence of VOCs in air, water and soil, and he has assisted in the develop of portable mass spectrometry instruments and hand-held systems that allow in-situ detection of VOCs and “odor signatures” (e.g. “the sniffer).
Dr. Wise is listed as an author on 25 peer-reviewed research publications, has contributed to three books, and has presented over 100 oral presentations. Including his published works is an article in the International Journal of Mass Spectrometry, and two articles in Field Analytical Chemistry and Technology.
