Hilkka Inkeri Kenttämaa is a researcher in organic and bioorganic mass spectrometry, and the Frank Brown Endowed Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University. She is a pioneer in distonic radical cation research and laser-induced acoustic desorption.

Early life and education

Kenttämaa had initially planned to study mathematics, instead of chemistry, despite both her parents being chemists. She studied at Helsinki University, earning a BS in 1977, a MS in 1978, a Phil. Lic.in 1981, and a PhD in Organic Chemistry in 1986. She did post-doctoral research with R. Graham Cooks at Purdue University in 1986.[1]

Career

She began her career as a research scientist at Helsinki University, the Academy of Finland, and as a visiting research scientist at Purdue University. She joined the faculty at Purdue University in 1989, and was promoted to Full Professor in 1999.[2] Her projects include using tandem mass spectrometry to study reaction mechanisms[3] [4] and fast pyrolysis process.[5] She is a pioneer in distonic radical cation research[6] and laser-induced acoustic desorption.[7] [8]

She was elected as a member of the Finish Academy of Science in 2004.[9] She serves as a subject editor in basic mass spectrometry for Mass Spectrometry Reviews.[10]
