Abstract:
This effort, directed at developing a sensor for evaluating water quality, is based on electrochemical techniques that detect and identify ions in solution. This paper discusses the use of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), corrosion measurements, and Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) to measure three marker ions Cu, Fe, and Zn using the electronic tongue concept. The use of genetic algorithms is suggested as an approach to facilitate the search for optimum measurement conditions. In addition, the possibility of changing the physical conditions of the sample chamber is discussed as a way of increasing the sensor's apparent sensitivity of and confidence in the measurements.

Following graduation Greg has worked for the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Covance Laboratories Incorporated, and Amgen Incorporated before coming to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in 2000. Greg's skills include classical bacteriology techniques, modern molecular biology techniques and extensive protein chemistry skills. Greg has mastered most modern chromatographic techniques such as High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) and Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE). As an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Greg worked in the lab of Dr. Eric Johnson, world renown researcher of clostridium botulinum and other food borne pathogens, and has acquired the skills for working with pathogenic microorganisms. At JPL Greg focuses his time between two groups. He works with the Planetary Protection Technologies Group where he is researching and evaluating advanced technologies for molecular detection of microbes on spacecraft materials and in spacecraft assembly facilities. Greg also works with the Microdevices Laboratory where he is utilizing his biology skill set to test and study the effects of biofilms on space flight hardware.
