Dr. Brian Buckley is the Executive Director of
Labs and Facilities at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
Institute (EOHSI) and is a member of the graduate faculty at Rutgers
University. Dr. Buckley received a B.S. in chemistry for the University
of New Hampshire in 1983, a PhD in analytical chemistry from North
Carolina State University in 1989 and has also had a post-doctoral
appointment at The Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He has worked as
a Laboratory Manager for the Nestles Quality Assurance Laboratory
in Dublin Ohio. Currently he is specializing in spectroscopic, mass
spectrometric and chromatographic instrument modification for matrix
specific analyses. His work has focused on methods development for
the analysis of environmental contaminants at their biological interface.
His research group has specialized in biofluid extractions, trace
metals quantification and speciation by chromatography coupled to
plasma mass spectrometry. He has been working on Microwave Assisted
Solvent Extraction (MASE) and Ion Trap Mass Spectrometric analysis
techniques for active contaminants and their metabolites for the last
four years. Most recently he has begun to examine the use of microwave
extraction to facilitate enzymatic digest of proteins for protein
sequencing vis LC/ITMS Office: EOHSI, room 324 |
Dr. Bozena Winnik is a Research Chemist and Supervisor
of the organic section in the EOHSI Analytical Center where she develops
quantitative HPLC/ITMS methods and is responsible for training graduate
students and postdoctoral fellows on the operations of the organic
instrumentation . She received her Ph.D. in Organic Analytical Chemistry
/ Mass Spectrometry from Cleveland State University. She was a Postdoctoral
Fellow at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School She received her
M. Sc. in Organic Chemistry / Organic Synthesis from Jagiellonian
University, Kracow, Poland. She has worked as Production Chemist and
Environmental Specialist and as a Quality Control Specialist.Office: EOHSI, room 318 |

Hilly (ILL) Yang is a Graduate Assistant in the
Analytical Center of EOHSI. He received a B.S. in biological & environmental
chemistry at the School of Environmental & Agricultural Science of
Sunchon National University in 1990 and a MS in biophysical & analytical
chemistry from Seoul National University in 1994. Now he is finishing
his PhD in the Department of Environmental Science at Rutgers University.
His research in the center focuses on methods development for the
analysis of environmental contaminants using chromatographic instrumentations
and Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry. He also studies the development and
improvement of environmental sample preparation methods using various
extraction techniques. Office: EOHSI, room 318 |

Dr. Qiang Tu is a postdoctoral research fellow
in the EOHSI Analytical Center. He received his Ph.D. in Environmental
Chemistry from the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences,
the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Before coming to EOHSI, he worked
in the Department of Analytical Chemistry of Umeå University in Sweden.
He has several years of research experience in trace metal speciation
and bioavailability studies, with emphasis on sample pretreatment,
atomic spectrometry and chromatography/capillary electrophoresis.

Wilson J. Rodriguez graduated from the University
of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus where he obtained his B.S. in Biology.
He matriculated to Rutgers University where he obtained a second B.S.
in Biotechnology and Biochemistry. He specializes in the areas of
microbial technology and on microbial ecology. He has vast experience
in field ecology and in population biology studies. As Project Coordinator
of EOHSI his duties include managing the myriad day-to-day building
operations as well as insuring the efficient functioning of the EOHSI
laboratories Office: EOHSI, room 344a |

Willie Johnson Jr. is currently supervisor of
the Inorganic Analytical Laboratory at EOHSI. He received his B.A
in Biology from Amherst College in 1977. He has worked as research
scientist for several years at Exxon Research and Engineering where
he specialized in metal analysis and developing wet chemical methodology..
He has also worked as staff chemist at PPM Technologies. His current
projects at EOHSI includes developing methods in trace metal quantification
and chromatographic speciation of metal coupled to an ICP-MS. Office: EOHSI, room 318 |
