Prof. Facundo M Fernández received his MSc in Chemistry from the College of Exact and Natural Sciences, Buenos Aires University in 1995 and his PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the same university, in 1999. In August 2000, he joined the research group of Prof. Richard N. Zare in the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University. His work focused on several aspects of Hadamard transform time-of-flight mass spectrometry with an emphasis on capillary-format separation methods. In 2002, he joined the group of Prof. Vicki Wysocki in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Arizona to develop surface-induced dissociation for gas-phase peptide ion studies. In 2004, he joined the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology where he currently holds the position of Regents' Professor and Vasser-Wooley Chair in Bioanalytical Chemistry. He is the academic director for the mass spectrometry cores at Georgia Tech where he oversees a large portfolio of instruments from most major vendors, together with the instruments in his research group. He has received several awards, including the NSF CAREER award, the CETL/BP Teaching award, the Ron A. Hites Best Paper award from the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, and the Beynon award from Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, among others.
