TIMOTHY B. VANDER WOOD, Ph.D.
Executive Director
Wide-ranging experience in the analysis and identification of small particles using all types of microscopy. Particular emphasis on the development of automated microscopy to characterize entire particle populations. Applications include contamination control, process monitoring, source identification, environmental monitoring and pollution studies.

- Stack particle sizing (including PM10 & PM2.5)
- Stack particle shape analysis
- Stack particulate matter identification
- Stack back half catch residue identification (M202)
- Stack filter debris analysis
- Stack condensable analysis
- Ambient air sample characterization
- Microscopy particle size distribution analysis
