Brian Dess Email & Phone Number | Brian Dess is a research scientist that works for Kalman and Company, Inc. He received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Iowa working in Dr. Gary Smalls research group in August 2016. His undergraduate studies were conducted at Hope College resulting in a Bachelor in Science. His research involves remote detection of gaseous species and radionuclides in line with the Environmental Protection Agency "ASPECT" program, with a focus on radionuclide detection. This program is aimed at assisting first responders in hazardous chemical/radiological situations where handheld sensors potentially put the responder at risk. By massively enhancing selectivity and sensitivity the first responder can identify threats from a airborne or other stand off platform as long as there is a signal to detect. This research aims to eliminate a existing impractical procedure in favor of one that can give access to building a classifier of nearly any compound easily. This involves extensive and cutting edge detection algorithms that are the result of decades of research in the remote detection field. Tangible advances have been made in designing more sensitive and selective classifiers for the remote detection of these radionuclides both in controlled and preexisting field locations. Dr. Dess firmly believes that his algorithms provide the most sensitive and selective capabilities in the world given successful weak source detections from over 1000 feet away. This is thanks to having realistic data to work with and custom designed algorithm development methodologies. Brian's background is heavy in multiple scientific fields of study. He has a passion for Chemistry, Physics, Computers, and Engineering. He has interned for a Defence Department Agency interested in the threat reduction of chemical, biological, and radiological weaponry, and also a R&D branch of a private engineering firm. He also performed environmental research with a particle accelerator at Hope College. Dr. Dess is devoted to the national defence of the United States.
