Alan G. Marshall

Alan George Marshall (* 26. May 1944 in Bluffton (Ohio) ) is a US -American chemist and co-inventor of the FT-ICR mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS).

Live and act

Alan G. Marshall was born in Bluffton, Ohio and studied chemistry at Northwestern University until 1965 . He received his doctorate in 1970 with John D. Baldeschwieler at Stanford University with the thesis I. Quadrupolar nuclear magnetic relaxation in the presence of chemical exchange: study of the active site of [alpha] -chymotrypsin. II. A unified theory of ion cyclotron resonance absorption lineshapes . In 1974 Marshall developed a Fourier transform mass spectrometer (FT-ICR-MS) at the University of British Columbia together with Melvin B. Comisarow . They were inspired by the methods of Fourier transformation - nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (FT-NMR) and ion cyclotron resonance (ICR). Marshall developed the technology from 1980 at Ohio State University and from 1993 at Florida State University . He lives in Tallahassee and is also the director of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory there .
