Biography:

Professor Caruso received his PhD from Michigan State University under the direction of Alexander Popov. After a one-year postdoctoral fellowship with J. J. Lagowski at The University of Texas - Austin, he joined the faculty of the University of Cincinnati as assistant professor of analytical chemistry. During this time he has authored or co-authored over 270 scientific publications and presented over 235 invited lectures at universities and at scientific meetings.

Professor Caruso’s research interests are trace elemental analysis by atomic spectrometric methods. The principle focus is plasma source mass spectrometry. His interests in this area are wide ranging from sample introduction to instrumentation and detection. A strong interest of the group continues to be chemical speciation with element specific detection. Application of these methods to phytoremediating plants and metalloproteins are of high current interests.

Professor Caruso is a member of the American Chemical Society, Canadian Spectroscopy Society, German Mass Spectrometry Society, Society for Applied Spectroscopy and Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He has been honored by Eastern Michigan University with its 1990 Distinguished Alumni Award, by the American Chemical Society with the 1992 Cincinnati Chemist of the Year Award, the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Society with the 1994 Anachem Award, and with the 2000 Spectrochemical Analysis Award given by the Analytical Division of the American Chemical Society.
