Jerome J. Workman, Jr. is an American scientist, born on August 6, 1952, in Northfield, Minnesota. Jerry Workman, Jr. and J.J. Workman are also names he uses for publishing. Workman is an author and editor of spectroscopy works and is an analytical spectroscopist.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

Career

Workman has published multiple reference text volumes, including the three-volume Academic Press Handbook of Organic Compounds, and five-volume The Concise Handbook of Analytical Spectroscopy. He has published or edited numerous major reviews and several hundred technical papers on the subject of spectroscopy. For this work, he has received the Williams-Wright Award, the ASTM International Award of Merit,^[6] and the Eastern Analytical Symposium Award.^[7] He, along with co-author Howard L. Mark, have published over 140 successive columns on statistics and chemometrics for Spectroscopy Magazine since 1986.^[8] He has lectured widely and internationally on spectroscopy, including at the Oxford Conference on Spectrometry, and throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia from 1986 to the present. Workman was elected as a Fellow in the American Institute of Chemists in 1986, the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1996, and ASTM International in 2002.

Workman has held appointments with the U.S. National Academies NRC panel for Assessment of NIST Programs from 2005 to 2007^[9] and was given the U.S. Department of Commerce Certificate of Appreciation in 2007. He has served as Executive Editor (Editor-in-Chief) of Spectroscopy Letters, appointed 1999-2003; Associate Editor, Applied Spectroscopy Reviews (New York), appointed 1999-2004; Editorial Advisory Board, Spectroscopy Magazine (Oregon), appointed 1995-; Proceedings Editor for the Oxford (UK) IV Conference on Spectrometry for 2002; Editorial Review Board, the American Institute of Chemists, 2003–2004; Editorial Advisory Board, Laboratory Robotics and Automation, appointed 1995-1997; Editorial Advisory Board, Journal of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (UK), appointed 1995-1997; Process Pages Editor, NIRNews (UK), 1994–1997; Editorial Board/Reviewer, AT-PROCESS (Journal of Process Analytical Chemistry), appointed 1995-1997; Editorial Advisory Board, Wiley Interscience book series on Laboratory Automation, 1993–1995; Contributing editor for Spectroscopy, 1987-. He was a Charter Member of U.S. Food and Drug Administration PAT and Chemometrics Committee, 2002 and was invited as a Visiting Professor in the Lecture Series at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, 2002.^[10] Workman was chairman of ASTM International Main Committee E13 on Molecular Spectroscopy and Separation Sciences (Chromatography) from 1996–2002,^[11] and was President of the Council for Near Infrared Spectroscopy in 1996. He chaired the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry (CPAC) Industrial Advisory Board during 1999-2000,^[12] and was on the CPAC/University of Washington Policy Board, and the CPAC Industrial Advisory Board Steering Committee over the same period.^[13] He has been an active reviewer for such journals as Talanta (The International Journal of Pure and Applied Analytical Chemistry), The Chemist, Spectroscopy Letters, Applied Spectroscopy Reviews, AT-Process, Analytical Chemistry (journal), Applied Spectroscopy (journal), Journal of Near Infrared Spectroscopy, Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences, Journal of Testing and Evaluation, Microchemical Journal, American Chemical Society books, Wiley-Interscience Series on Laboratory Automation, 1997–1999, SBIR grant work, and others.

Education

Workman studied at Saint John's University (Minnesota) and Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, earning a B.A. (cum laude) and an M.A. He went on to Columbia Pacific University to study for his Ph.D., then studied in the Columbia Executive Program at the Columbia Business School, completing the Columbia Senior Executive Program, the Certificate in Business Excellence, and the Certificate of Executive Development. At MIT Sloan School of Management he did further studies for a Certificate in Strategy and Innovation.^[14][15][16]

Technical contributions

Technical contributions include development and application of novel vibrational spectroscopy technology for the monitoring of commercial synthetic and natural products and processes; medical applications of spectroscopy; and as an individual inventor, researcher, author and editor of scientific reference works on the subject of spectroscopy. Patented inventions for multi-spectral monitoring (US 6,452,679), web-based information technology in spectroscopy (US 8,140,500), scanning systems for positioning materials in manufacturing technology (US 6,927,857, 7,935,296). Lead researcher for small molecule metabolite reporters for monitoring multiple parameters in human metabolism (US 8,008,088, 8,029,765, 8,466,286, 8,509,867), advanced technology and algorithm development for instrument automation and calibration, and for manufacturing monitoring methods for consumer products (US 6,430,989). Patents pending for first principles spectroscopy (Total Alignment SpectroscopyTM), and novel color-NIR spectrophotometer designs. Contributed to research and development for multiple commercial instruments and algorithms for laboratory, process, and clinical monitoring.^[17][18][19]
