Senior Application Engineer
Agilent
Dr. David A Weil, is a master level scientist working for Agilent technologies since 2004, located in Sausalito, CA. David’s research is focused on the application of high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled with multidimensional separations techniques (GC, LC, and 2DLC, SFC, Ion Mobility) and advanced data mining software tools for multi-omics applications, in particular untargeted metabolomics linked back to changes in biochemical pathways. David is also the global technical leader for Agilent’s Extractable and Leachable analysis project, having developed an accurate mass database and MS/MS library for common E/L compounds. He is active in many collaborations with experts in the E/L field investigating how new technologies, software and workflows can advance the E/L. Prior to joining Agilent, Dr. Weil was the group leader of the 3M’s Corporate Research Analytical mass spectrometry group (1990-2004) responsible for characterization of extractable/leachable impurities present from a wide variety of drug delivery products including Meter Dose Inhalers, Transdermal Patches, Injectable products and Nasal/oral Sprays packaging
David received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota (1984) and Post Doc with Professor Charles Wilkins developing the precursor to MALDI.
