FT-IR MICROSPECTROSCOPY RESEARCH ACTIVITY:

More than 100 presentations (20 at international meetings) have been made by Prof. Wetzel to report experimental results of FT-IR microspectroscopy. Many of these were invited. Several months of first hand experimentation with a borrowed instrument while on a sabbatical in Ottawa, Ontario and with a prototype integrated instrument at the lab of its manufacturer produced sufficient data for a book chapter and a paper in the published proceedings of an international meeting respectively.
Wetzel and KSU chemistry professor Clifton Meloan established the Microbeam Molecular Spectroscopy Laboratory at KSU in 1991 based on the IRΦsTM state-of-the-art infrared integrated microscope/spectrometer. Hatch Funds via the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station (KAES) on a modest but continuous basis provided graduate research assistantships and expendable supplies. Cooperation with Steven M. LeVine (Associate Professor, University of Kansas Medical Center) began when he brought mouse cerebrum tissue to Manhattan, KS to examine in the laboratory at KSU. Wetzel, LeVine (KUMC), and one professor from the Chemistry, Biology, and Grain Science Departments at Kansas State University received a $300,000 NSF EPSCoR Grant OSR9255223 over three years. This funding resulted in enhancement of capabilities at KSU, increased cooperation between LeVine and Wetzel, and synchrotron experimentation at the National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY within months of the first historic synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy experiment. The grant funded a full time research assistant and GRA=s specifically involved with infrared microbeam work. Besides the presentations, many of the publications listed below (and earlier ones not listed, including two book chapters) were a direct result of the NSF support.
Instrument building experience (mostly in near-IR spectroscopy) includes one patent (AOTF instrument), two active patent applications (polymers), and building an on-line near-IR monitoring system for flour mill QC.

PUBLICATIONS AND GENERAL RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

These activities are in evidence by chairmanship of one and participation on several national and international technical committees of the American Association of Cereal Chemists and the International Association for Cereal Chemistry. Other evidence appears in the attached list of journal articles, books and published abstracts of technical presentations at national and international meetings. Recognition in the above areas of specialization is in evidence by appearances as invited speaker at symposia of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (Philadelphia), the International Association for Cereal Chemistry (Vienna, Lausanne, and Porto Carras), the Technicon International Congress (New York), and the NIR Colloquium (New York).
Recognition in chemistry has been within the American Chemical Society (as invited symposium speaker three times); in the Food and Agriculture Division of the ACS (as five-time invited symposium speaker); in the American Society for Testing Materials as an active member of the near-IR task group of the E-13 committee on molecular spectroscopy (two working meetings each year) by the Eastern Analytical Symposium, New York, New York (appeared as symposium invited speaker twice in the past five years on near-IR spectroscopy); by the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy; in Society of Applied Spectroscopy (represent the Council for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy on the governing board which meets twice a year); in the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (invited to arrange and chair an all-day symposium meeting on applied near-infrared spectroscopy
