Dr. Myrick is a professor of chemistry at the University of South Carolina, Columbia. He served as an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of South Carolina from 1991 to 1998.Dr. Myrick has served as a participating guest, staff scientist and post-doctoral associate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif., as well as a visiting professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Dr. Myrick and his research group at the University of South Carolina developed the process of Multivariate Optical Computing. In 2001, Dr. Myrick and his group demonstrated a new concept in chemical measurement based on optical spectroscopy and performed with specially designed interference filters, called multivariate optical elements (MOEs). MOEs function as optical beam-splitters. The difference in the measured intensities of the beams of light that are transmitted from and reflected by the MOE can serve as a chemical measurement in a complex sample.
Dr. Myrick's group designs, constructs and tests MOEs and continues to develop new theories and applications for them. Ometric SpectrInline Processware is the first commercial application of Multivariate Optical Computing.
Dr. Myrick earned a doctorate of physical chemistry from New Mexico State University at Las Cruces, and a bachelor's degree in chemistry from North Carolina State University.In 1992, Dr. Myrick received the Army Young Investigator Award. He was named Outstanding Honors College Professor in the Sciences at the University of South Carolina in 1994. In 1999, he received the Imaging Solution of the Year Award from Advanced Imaging Magazine. |
