Adam J. Pearce (Fed)
Adam J. Pearce is a research chemist in the Radioactivity Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He received his B.S. in chemistry from the University of Central Arkansas. Then, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities studying the organometallic chemistry of low-valent early transition metals. Before coming to NIST, he started his early career as a postdoctoral research at Yale University working on the development of hybrid molecular materials for the catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into fuels driven by sunlight.
At NIST, Adam's focus is in the area of low-level environmental radioactivity metrology, including the use of alpha spectrometry and mass spectrometry (MS), among other methods. He is currently involved in several projects, including the expansion of the use of MS in radionuclide metrology and in new solid source preparation techniques for alpha spectrometry and decay energy spectroscopy (DES). He is a member of the TrueBq IMS project, focusing on source preparation.
