Allyson Wesley is a Research Chemist in the Inorganic Chemical Metrology Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD. She acquired her Master of Science in Forensic Science from Towson University in 2022 where her research focused on the identification of gasoline extracted from laminate flooring using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). She has experience in trace elemental analysis of a variety of matrices using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and her current work at NIST focuses on the development and maintenance of the 3100 series standard reference materials (SRMs), NIST's single element solution standards, mainly using high performance inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (HP-ICP-OES).
