Derek Guenther
SENIOR PRODUCT SCIENTIST
There’s a critical bridge between creativity and science. And that connection really feeds into the idea of discovering what can be done that was not done before.
This is such an exciting time for spectroscopy because of rapid advancements in both hardware and software, and because of the collaborative fusion between hardware and software that’s driving amazing leaps across industries.
In my 15+ years with Ocean Optics I have done different things, working on applications as interesting and diverse as dialysis fluid analysis and pharma tank cleaning.
