Gary
Kramer received his Ph.D. from Purdue University in organic
chemistry working with Professor H.C. Brown on the synthesis
and reactions of allylic organoboranes. He joined Purdue's
Chemistry Instrumentation Facility, where he designed analytical
instruments and instrument interfaces, consulted on measurement
problems, and co-directed a project to automate the way
organic synthesis development is carried out in the laboratory
for which he received a Pioneer in Laboratory Robotics award
in 1985. In 1990, he joined the National Institute of Standards
and Technology and served as Project Manager of the Consortium
on Automated Analytical Laboratory Systems (CAALS), a U.S.
industry/Government joint venture to foster the development
of laboratory automation for analytical chemistry. In 1995,
he was appointed Leader of the Chemical Sensing and Automation
Technology Group, which was later renamed the Molecular
Spectroscopy and Microfluidic Methods Group. In 1998, he
received the Association for Laboratory Automation Achievement
Award. Currently, in addition to his instrumentation and
laboratory automation activities, he is working to develop
standards for luminescence measurements and a markup language
for spectroscopy result data interchange and archiving.
He serves as a member of the NCCLS Area Committee on Automation
and Informatics and chairs ASTM Subcommittee E13.15 on Analytical
Data Management.
