Notes

Robert Graham Cooks is the Henry Bohn Hass Distinguished Professor of Chemistry in the Aston Laboratories for Mass Spectrometry at Purdue University. He is an ISI Highly Cited Chemist,[1] with over 1,000 publications and an H-index of 144.[2][3]

Education

Cooks received a bachelor of science and master of science degrees from the

Cambridge University in 1967, where he worked with Peter Sykes. He then did post-doctoral work at Cambridge with Dudley Williams.[4]

Career

Cooks became an Assistant Professor at Kansas State University from 1968 to 1971. In 1971, he took a position at Purdue University. He became a Professor of Chemistry in 1980 and was appointed the Henry Bohn Hass Distinguished Professor in 1990.[4] Cooks was co-editor of the Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry from 2013-2017.[5][6]

Select research interests

Research in Cooks' laboratory (the Aston Laboratories) has contributed to a diverse assortment of areas within

surface-induced dissociation (SID),[12] and photodissociation (PD);[13] and desorption processes, including secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS),[14] laser desorption ionization (LD)[15] and desorption electrospray ionization (DESI).[16]

His research has ranged through areas from preparative mass spectrometry, ionization techniques and quadrupole ion traps (QITs) and related technologies[17] to as far afield as abiogenisis (also known as "the origin of life") via homochirality.[18]
