Mr. Peters has for the past three years and is currently executing and managing projects related to aerosol science. He has one year of industrial source testing experience, one year of teaching experience, and has performed many aerosol related studies over the past eight years.
1992 - 1993. Radian Corporation, Houston, TX. Engineer/Scientist. Performed industrial source testing on EPRI, DOE, and private sector projects. Gained familiarity with standard operating procedures, QA/QC requirements, and laboratory methods while working in an analytical chemistry laboratory.
1990 - 1992. University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. Graduate Research Assistant. Designed a sub-micron aerosol generation system for EPA's human exposure laboratory located in Chapel Hill, N.C. Evaluated two aerodynamic particle sizing devices (Aerosizer vs. Aerodynamic Particle Sizer). Combined data from a Differential Mobility Particle Sizer, an Electrical Aerosol Analyzer and an Aerodynamic Particle Sizer in order to obtain aerosol mass distributions. Assisted in the field evaluation of an automated sampler for quantifying metal based particulate. Conducted field tests of a military M-1 tank engine exhaust including comparison of an in-stack diffusion classifier with an in-stack low pressure impactor. Performed laboratory work to optimize calibration aerosol from a Vibrating Orifice Aerosol Generator.
1988 - 1990. University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. Undergraduate Research Assistant. Assisted in the environmental monitoring of Florida's three nuclear power plants. Collected and analyzed field samples for a Radon Study in Dunnellon, FL.
