D. Porter received
B.S. and M.S. degrees from Wright State University and a Ph. D. from The Ohio
State University in 1984. After a
post-doctoral appointment with D. Allara at Bell Laboratories, he joined the
faculty at the chemistry department of Iowa State University, and presently
holds the rank of Professor and is the Director of the University’s
Microanalytical Instrumentation Center. He
has received a Special Creativity Grant Extension Award from NSF in 1993 and was
the recipient of the Wright Brothers Award from the Society of Aeronautical
Engineers in 1993. He is currently
serving on the Analytical Chemistry Advisory Board.
He is affiliated with the American Chemical Society, The Electrochemistry
Society, and The Society for Applied Spectroscopy.
He has over 100 publications, and has given over 175 presentations at
national and international meetings. He
has also given over 90-invited talks at various universities and industries.
He holds five patents, with several more pending.
His research interests focus largely on the role of interfaces in
analytical chemistry, including electrochemically modulated liquid
chromatography, electrocatalysis, organic monolayer films and the chemical
modification of surfaces, scanning probe microscopies, infrared and Raman
spectroscopies, and fiber optic and acoustic wave sensors.
