John W. Olesik works in analytical chemistry, developing and applying plasma-based mass spectrometry and spectroscopy techniques (such as ICP-MS and ICP-OES) to detect and measure trace elements and nanoparticles in complex samples. His research applies these methods to diverse problems including glacial ice core contamination history, biological trace metal analysis in bacteria, and elemental content in biological tissues. This work is useful for students interested in instrumentation development and environmental or biological trace-element analysis.
