2002-2003 Seminar Biographical Sketches
Dr. Jill R. Scott has a multidisciplinary background that ranges from physical bioinorganic chemistry to mass spectrometry (instrument development as well as applications). For the past five years, Dr. Scott has been conducting research at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory in three major areas: developing the LOCI (formerly the I2LD-FTMS, or Internal Imaging Laser Desorption Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometer), a unique sample analysis instrument with imaging internal laser desorption Fourier transform mass spectrometry and other capabilities; developing methods for studying aluminosilicate, silicate, and aluminate oligomer series as well as metal species using FTMS and ion trap secondary ion mass spectrometry; and developing methods for optically observing and characterizing gas-phase ions trapped in the FTMS. Dr. Scott has also worked on laser desorption and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry for analysis of self-assembled monolayers and biomolecules while at the University of California-Riverside. Additionally, she has investigated intramolecular and intermolecular electron-transfer reactions of inorganic complexes and metalloproteins using laser flash photolysis at the University of Arkansas and pulse radiolysis at the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory. Dr. Scott holds a Ph.D. degree in Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and an M.N.S. degree in Natural Science from the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma and B. S. in Chemistry from Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
