40 Years of Chemometrics: From Bruce Kowalski to the Future

Barry K. Lavine received his PhD from Pennsylvania State University in 1986. In the same year, Lavine became a faculty member in the Chemistry Department at Clarkson University where he taught and performed research in analytical chemistry and chemometrics for 18 years. In 2004, Lavine moved to Oklahoma State University (OSU) where he continues to be active in both teaching and research. Lavine's publications include some 150 publications, chapters, and reviewarticles as well as three books.Steven D. Brown (PhD, University of Washington) began research as an inorganic chemist, earning an MS for work in fluorine chemistry. When he enrolled in the PhD program at the University of Washington, he took up the new field of chemometrics and earned a PhD from Bruce Kowalski in 1978. He has served as Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley, as Associate Professor at Washington State University, and is now Willis F. Harrington Professor at the University of Delaware, where he teaches analyticalchemistry and multivariate statistical methods in chemistry. Dr. Brown's publications include some 200 publications, chapters and reports, as well as two books, including the four-volume treatise Comprehensive Chemometrics (2009, Elsevier).Karl S. Booksh is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Delaware. He earned his Doctorate in Analytical Chemistry working with Prof. Bruce R. Kowalski in the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry at the University of Washington. He was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of South Carolina before joining the faculty at Arizona State University in 1996.
