Thomas William Owen,
Jr., Ph.D., Team Leader,
has 8 years of experience in the field of analytical chemistry, specializing
in development of electrochemical and microgravimetric chemical sensors and
biosensors. He also has experience in the design and characterization of
electroactive supramolecular assemblies (SMAs) such as liposomes and
self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), as well as, surface modification. He has
also skilled in surface analysis and materials characterization by
electrochemical methods (voltammetry, amperometry and impedance
spectroscopy), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and attenuated total internal
reflection-Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). He obtained
his B.S. in chemistry with an emphasis in biochemistry at Boise State
University (BSU) in 2002 where he performed research characterizing a
mercury selective electrode. He then earned an M.S. in analytical chemistry
in 2004 followed by a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry in 2007 at the
University of California, Riverside (UCR). While at UCR, he developed an
immunosensor for the detection of aerosolized influenza particles based on
quartz crystal microbalance technology.
