Bob never had a chance. By the time he was a teenager, he was cutting the lawn of Prof. Louis Meites (author of "Polarographic Techniques") of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. When Prof. Meites saw he had a worthy fish on the line, he set the hook!  Bob got his B.S. at Brooklyn Poly, started graduate school there under Dr. Meites' direction, and followed him when he went to Clarkson College where he obtained his Ph.D.

Bob then journeyed west to CalTech, where he held a post-doc slot with Dr. Fred Anson.  Bob next enjoyed a one-year temporary appointment at Michigan State University, and served several years on the faculty in the Department of Chemistry at Lehigh University.

Bob moved into the commercial world with Princeton Applied Research. He later spent some time as an electrochemical consultant, then joined Gamry in 2001.

Bob holds a wealth of knowledge between his very impressive ears on potentiostat design, software design, virtually all electrochemical applications, and especially electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.  When we encounter a particularly sticky technical support issue, Bob is the first guy we call.

For more information than you would ever really need on Bob, visit his website.  If that doesn't convince you that he's really, really into electrochemistry, then we admit defeat.

Bob had an up-and-down year in 2006-07.  He ran into a serious medical problem that slowed him down for a bit, but he's back in action.  His first grandchild was born in May 2006 and his second daughter was married in November 2006.

Then he had a mid-life crisis and fell in love.  Get the tragic information here.
