Barbara Seliger Larsen is a mass spectrometrist, with a career in instrumentations and applications of mass spectrometry in industry, and served on the board of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry for several terms. [1]

Contents

Early life and education

Larsen earned a BS in chemistry from Santa Clara University in 1978, and a PhD in chemistry under the direction of Douglas P. Ridge from University of Delaware in 1983. [2] She completed her post-doctoral research with Catherine Fenselau at Johns Hopkins University. [1]

Career

Larsen worked for more than 35 years at DuPont. [3] In her research in mass spectrometry, she worked with a number of ionization sources, from electrospray ionization, [4] [5] matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, [6] solid probe introduction with corona discharge ionization, [7] to laserspray ionization. [8] Her fluorinated polymer extraction method, [9] [10] the Larsen method, is required by the Environmental Protection Agency for consumer safety. [11] She is a consultant at Larsen Scientific Consulting. [12]

She serves on the editorial advisory board of Spectroscopy. [12] She was an editor for the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry . [13] She served on a number of board positions for the American Society for Mass Spectrometry: treasurer (1992-1994), vice president for programs (2004-2006), president (2006-2008), and past president (2008-2010). [14] [15] She was elected as an American Chemical Society Fellow in 2017. [16]
