Garth Patterson is an Associate Professor of Science at Mount St. Mary’s University, where he focuses on development of instrumentation generally and mass spectrometry specifically. Additionally, Dr. Patterson develops applications with developed instrumentation particularly focusing on the food and beverage industry.
Prior to joining Mount St. Mary’s, Dr. Patterson founded Griffin Analytical Technologies that was later acquired by FLIR Systems, Inc. At Griffin, Dr. Patterson was a Principal Investigator on multiple projects including several SBIR awards, one of which resulted in a Tibbett’s Award. Dr. Patterson has been awarded more than a dozen United States Patents and several international patents, all focused on mass spectrometry development.
