Jerome J. Workman Jr. is an American analytical spectroscopist, author, editor, and inventor born on August 6, 1952, in Northfield, Minnesota. Jerry Workman, Jerry Workman, Jr., and J.J. Workman are also names he uses for publishing.[1][2][3][4][5]

Early life and education

Workman was born on August 06, 1952, in Northfield, Minnesota. He attended Saint John's University (Minnesota) and later completed a B.A. (cum laude) degree, followed by a M.A. from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota. While at St. John's, Workman was co-captain of the wrestling team, two times Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Champion (1971,1974) and later became head wrestling coach at St. Mary's in 1976.[6][7][8] In addition, he was a National Catholic Intercollegiate Tournament (NCIT) Champion and was voted Outstanding Wrestler of the NCIT Tournament in 1972.[9][10]

He went on to earn his PhD at Columbia Pacific University.^[citation needed] Later, he entered the Columbia Executive Program at the Columbia Business School, completing the Columbia Senior Executive Program, the Certificate in Business Excellence, and the Certificate of Executive Development. At MIT Sloan School of Management he did further studies for a Certificate in Strategy and Innovation.[11][12][13]

Career

Workman has held appointments with the U.S. National Academies NRC panel for Assessment of NIST Programs from 2005 to 2007 and was given the U.S. Department of Commerce Certificate of Appreciation in 2007.[14] He has served as executive editor (editor-in-chief) of Spectroscopy Letters, appointed 1999–2003; associate editor, Applied Spectroscopy Reviews (New York), appointed 1999–2004; editorial advisory board, and Spectroscopy Magazine (Oregon) since 1995.^[citation needed] He was a Charter Member of U.S. Food and Drug Administration PAT and Chemometrics Committee in 2002.[15] Workman has also been a member of various chemical and scientific advisory boards.[16][17][18] Workman is also the holder of multiple patents, including twenty issued US patents.[19][20]

In 1997 Workman worked with Elsevier Author Services as an editor of chief. Workman authored the three-volume Academic Press Handbook of Organic Compounds, and five-volume The Concise Handbook of Analytical Spectroscopy.[21][22] He, along with co-author Howard L. Mark, have published over 150 successive columns on statistics and chemometrics for Spectroscopy Magazine since 1986.[23] He has received the Williams–Wright Award, the ASTM International Award of Merit,[24] the Eastern Analytical Symposium Award,[25] and the New York Society for Applied Spectroscopy Gold Medal Award for his considerable volume of publications, reviews, and books.[26]
