Dr. Emile Schweikert

Biography

Emile Schweikert is a Professor at Texas A&M University, part of the College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on the fields of analytical instrumentation, materials science, nanoscience, and physical polymer surface research. He currently has a post-doctoral position open, working on methodologies for characterizing biomarkers in molecular environments related to individual biological nano-objects. His experimental procedures are based on the desorption of atomic and molecular species from solids bombarded by energetic massive projectiles, such as C60 and Au400 ions. By utilizing time-of-flight mass spectrometry, he aims to detect desorbed ions and analyze their emission characteristics. His innovative work includes secondary ion mass spectrometry, allowing unprecedented insights into co-ejected ions from single impacts on surfaces. His research investigates the detection, localization, and tracking of very small numbers of molecules in a variety of applications including catalysis, microelectronics, and environmental biomedical research.
