Barbara Seliger Larsen is a mass spectrometrist, with a career in instrumentations and applications of mass spectrometry in industry, and served on the board of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry for several terms.[1]

Early life and education

Larsen earned a BS in chemistry from Santa Clara University in 1978, and a PhD in chemistry under the direction of Douglas P. Ridge from University of Delaware in 1983.[2] She completed her post-doctoral research with Catherine Fenselau at Johns Hopkins University.

Career

Larsen worked for more than 35 years at DuPont.[3] In her research in mass spectrometry, she worked with a number of ionization sources, from electrospray ionization,[4] [5] matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization,[6] solid probe introduction with corona discharge ionization,[7] to laserspray ionization.[8] Her fluorinated polymer extraction method,[9] [10] the Larsen method, is required by the Environmental Protection Agency for consumer safety.[11] She is a consultant at Larsen Scientific Consulting.[12]

She serves on the editorial advisory board of Spectroscopy. She was an editor for the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.[13] She served on a number of board positions for the American Society for Mass Spectrometry: treasurer (1992-1994), vice president for programs (2004-2006), president (2006-2008), and past president (2008-2010).[14] [15] She was elected as an American Chemical Society Fellow in 2017.[16]
