Dr. Jeffrey L. Taylor

 I am a Sr. Staff Product Specialistwith the Materials Characterization and Analytical Sciences and Laboratory Services Division of PerkinElmer. I have over 36 years’ experience with UV/Vis/NIR, Fluorescence, InfraRed, and Raman spectroscopy. I attended the University of Georgia, where my Ph.D. research concentrated in the fields of physical biochemistry and enzymology. In my 30 year career with PerkinElmer I have been involved in the development of instruments, applications, and software. In addition, I hold several patents involving instrument accessory design. My current focus is in customer application's support for the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region. I reside in Mt. Airy, Maryland.

Jillian F. Dlugos

PerkinElmer High School Intern

Jillian F. Dlugos is currently a senior at Glenelg High School in Glenelg Maryland. She has been interning at PerkinElmer Healthcare Sciences with her mentor Dr. Jeffrey L. Taylor since she was a freshman. She has co-authored and published two application notes with her mentor and is currently working on others. The application notes proved to be significant in the sale of several UV/Vis/NIR spectrophotometers in the northeast region for the company.

This past fall, Jillian gave two presentations on the role of melanin in the UV/Visible spectroscopy of ethnic skin types at PerkinElmer’s Innovation Tours in New Jersey and Washington D.C. She also presented again in New Jersey at the Eastern Analytical Symposium and had two poster presentations at the Pittsburgh Conference of the Spectroscopic Society of Pittsburgh (PITTCON).

Jillian's current research is on the characterization and quantitation of large and small particle light scattering in sunscreens and cosmetics. This research was presented in May of 2013 at PerkinElmer's Innovation Tour sponsored by SUNY Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering.
