Dr. Bob Rodgers
Senior Electrochemist Emeritus

Available by appointment only, depends on his Boredom Coefficient and how severely we can twist his arm!

Bob never had a chance. By the time he was a teenager, he was cutting the lawn of Prof. Louis Meites (author of "Polarographic Techniques") of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. When Prof. Meites saw he had a worthy fish on the line, he set the hook!  Bob got his B.S. at Brooklyn Poly, started graduate school there under Dr. Meites' direction, and followed him when he went to Clarkson College where he obtained his Ph.D.

Bob then journeyed west to CalTech, where he held a post-doc slot with Dr. Fred Anson.  Bob next enjoyed a one-year temporary appointment at Michigan State University, and served several years on the faculty in the Department of Chemistry at Lehigh University.

Bob moved into the commercial world with Princeton Applied Research. He later spent some time as an electrochemical consultant, then joined Gamry in 2001.

Bob holds a wealth of knowledge between his very impressive ears on potentiostat design, software design, virtually all electrochemical applications, and especially electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. 

For more information than you would ever really need on Bob, visit his website.  If that doesn't convince you that he's really, really into electrochemistry, then we give up.  He's also a car nut.

Bob had some serious medical issues in 2005-06, but he worked his way through them and came out of the other side in pretty good shape.   That kind of thing can cause anyone to review their priorities, though.  Bob looked around and made the tough decision to retire in March 2008.

Fortunately, Bob gets bored pretty quickly and we plan to still see a lot of him, but on an irregular basis.  We're not really worried...Bob has a SERIOUS Potentiostat Jones!
