Event Overview
To reduce costs and increase energy efficiency of traditional batteries, the battery industry is constantly innovating with new materials. To assure quality, manufacturers must verify elemental composition and confirm key elements are evenly distributed in the process. A new technology for rapid chemical characterization of solid materials can accelerate new material development, quality control, and failure analysis. By combining an innovative dual-laser system with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, this new technique provides:

Jeff Williams
CEO / CTO
Exum Instruments
Bound to the vision of Exum Instruments, Jeff Williams drives both strategy and technical development as CEO / CTO. From instrument design and software development to team building and fundraising, Jeff prides himself on being both “head cook and bottle washer.” Before Exum, Jeff completed a master’s degree in cosmochemistry from the University of New Mexico. At that time, he realized that the analytical world he loved so much was greatly lacking. Slowly at first, and then all at once, he switched hats from research scientist to entrepreneur with a mission to develop tools that would redefine analytical instruments forever.

A Life Measured in Peaks: Honoring Alan George Marshall (1944–2025)
June 18th 2025A pioneer of FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry, Alan G. Marshall (1944–2025), is best known for co-inventing Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), a transformative technique that enabled ultrahigh-resolution analysis of complex mixtures. Over a career spanning more than five decades at institutions like the University of British Columbia, The Ohio State University, and Florida State University, he published over 650 peer-reviewed papers and mentored more than 150 scientists. Marshall’s work profoundly impacted fields ranging from astrobiology to petroleomics and earned him numerous prestigious awards and fellowships. Revered for his intellect, mentorship, and dedication to science, he leaves behind a legacy that continues to shape modern mass spectrometry.
