About
Dr. M. R. Hampson is a leading environmental analytical chemist whose work directly addresses critical challenges in water quality monitoring. His primary research focuses on developing innovative, automated sample preparation techniques coupled with mass spectrometry for the trace-level detection of organic contaminants. Dr. Hampson’s most significant contribution is the creation of a novel automated micro solid phase extraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (μSPE-GC–MS) method for the simultaneous detection of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) in drinking water. These two compounds are notorious for causing earthy and musty tastes and odors at concentrations below 10 ng/L, presenting a major challenge for water utilities. His 2023 paper detailing this method has already garnered 30 citations, highlighting its immediate impact on the field. By automating a previously labor-intensive process, Dr. Hampson’s work provides a faster, more reliable, and cost-effective solution for ensuring palatable drinking water, representing a significant achievement in applied analytical chemistry.
