Vice President - Measurements
Spectrum Environmental Solutions
Austin, TX, United States
Steve is the co-founder of Spectrum Environmental Solutions LLC and began his career in 1993 as an environmental consultant. Over the last 28 years, he has specialized in the application of various optical spectroscopic techniques such as remote sensing, FTIR, OP-FTIR, UV DOAS, and TDL QCL. These techniques have been utilized to address client process and environmental issues across all major environmental markets, including semiconductor, oil & gas, chemical production, power generation, military, ambient air, and manufacturing sectors.
Steve successfully installed and operated multiple Ambient Air Monitoring Stations (AAMS) using FTIR and UV-DOAS in both Open-Path and extractive configurations. He holds a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, where he developed a keen interest in spectroscopy while performing laser-based experiments as an undergraduate in the Lisy group. His passion for spectroscopy has continued to grow over the past 28+ years while working as a Project Manager and Senior Scientist at AECOM and its legacy companies, Radian and URS. In these roles, he led a team of scientists in designing systems and performing optical-based emissions measurements.
Steve's work often takes him around the world where he performs Optical Remote Sensing and FTIR-based measurements. He is also involved in training and mentoring others in spectral interpretation and measurements. His expertise, particularly in the semiconductor sector, has earned him a strong reputation, underscored by his involvement in a multitude projects with the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers. Additionally, Steve is the co-author of the industry document on Tool Emissions Characterization, which through the Semiconductor Industry Association, provided language that is now integral to the industry-wide GHG reporting rule (40 CFR Part 98 Subpart I).
