Speakers

Robert E. Shirey, M.S.

Merck

Principal R&D Scientist

Bob Shirey received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Shippensburg University and his M.S. degree in Biochemistry from West Virginia University. Bob started working at Supelco in 1984 as an R&D chemist focusing on GC and GC/MS applications. Eventually, Bob started to specialize in sample preparation and played a key role in the development of the VOCARB purge trap line. Since 1993 Bob’s primary responsibilities have been on the development of SPME fibers and hardware along with SPME applications. Bob has written multiple SPME articles for journals and books. Bob continues to focus his efforts on SPME in the development of the BioSPME product line and new SPME coating chemistries. He especially enjoys interacting with customers and learning how they are using the SPME technology.
