RJLG Names New Manager of Corporate Chemistry
RJLG announces the promotion of Dr. Lykourgos Iordanidis to Manager of Corporate Chemistry. In this role, he is responsible for day-to-day management of the laboratory operations in Monroeville, PA and Pasco, WA. His primary objectives in the near term are to accelerate the integration of analytical chemistry production between Washington and headquarters. This position acts in parallel with Brian Strohmeier (TEM & Optical) and Karen Harris (Materials & Environmental).
Dr. Iordanidis has been with RJLG for just over four years. He
began his tenure with a project related to the buildings
surrounding the World Trade Center and the events of 9/11. During
that time he successfully supervised a team in charge of the
collection, interpretation and presentation of air mercury sampling
data. Next, he worked on several R&D projects, including the
initial phase of an acid mine waste project and development of an
additive for repairing damaged concrete. In 2005, he was promoted
to Laboratory Manager of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory in
Monroeville, PA. In early 2007, his responsibilities expanded to
include the Organic Chemistry Laboratory in Monroeville, PA. Dr.
Iordanidis has been instrumental in a number of significant
projects: development of RJLG's ChemLIMS system and managing the
surge in hexavalent chromium analyses services. Most recently, he
has overseen the analyses of over one-thousand metals samples
within a 4-week span.
Dr. Iordanidis holds a PhD in Chemistry from Michigan State
University. As a graduate student at post doctoral, he worked in
the synthesis, physiochemical and structural characterization of
multi-metallic inorganic and organic solids.
