Peter Griffiths

Peter Griffiths is emeritus professor of chemistry at the University of Idaho. His research interests involved many applications of vibrational spectroscopy in analytical chemistry. His group pioneered the use of diffuse reflection spectroscopy in the mid-infrared, the coupling of various types of chromatograph (GC, HPLC, SFC, TLC) to FT-IR spectrometers, surface- enhanced infrared absorption and Raman spectroscopy, and open-path atmospheric monitoring by FT-IR spectrometry. Peter was formerly editor-in-chief and is now second editor of Applied Spectroscopy.
