degree in chemistry with an emphasis in color science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. His research includes spectral-based imaging, archiving, and reproduction of cultural heritage; algorithm development for multi-ink printing; the use of color and imaging sciences for art conservation science; and colorimetry.

His research on physical inorganic chemistry and spectroscopy is concerned with synthesis, characterisation, and structure, focusing mainly on the electronic and vibrational spectroscopy of inorganic compounds, on matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy of photochemically generated species, and on infrared-based spectroelectrochemistry of redox-active species. In particular, he has made seminal contributions to virtually all aspects of Raman spectroscopy, notably to the characterisation of deeply coloured materials (e.g., TiI4)

At the Freer and Sackler Galleries, her work involves research on Asian art and archaeological materials to answer questions relating to their authenticity, cultural context, and method of manufacture. Recent projects involve the mineralogical study of early Chinese jades, characterization of glass and stone gokok beads from Korea, and petrographic analysis of stone sculpture from Cambodia.

He spent a year as a Getty Intern in the Painting Conservation and Scientific Research Departments at the National Gallery of Art (NGA) , Washington, D.C., and then joined the Conservation Department of the Tate Gallery in 1992, where he established appropriate analytical protocols for the identification and characterisation of twentieth-century painting materials with Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)

He is currently coordinating a collaborative research venture into modern paints between the GCI, the NGA, and Tate, in which three initial areas of focus are improving methods for chemical analysis, studying their physical properties and assessing cleaning treatments. Carol Mancusi-Ungaro serves as Associate Director for Conservation and Research at the Whitney Museum of American Art and Founding Director of the Center for the Technical Study of Modern Art at Harvard University Art Museums.

From page 222... ...
He is particularly interested in interdisciplinary research projects on works of art involving scientists, conservators, and art historians, and subjects he has studied range from qero cups produced in the Inka and colonial periods in Peru, to stone sculptures from the Indian subcontinent, to painting materials used in ancient Egypt. He collaborated with an art historian, conservator, and technical photographer in a 1988 book, Examining Velazquez, which received the 1991 Award for Distinction in Scholarship and Conservation from the College Art Association and National Institute for Conservation.

He has published on paper deterioration, its treatment, and damage induced by humidity changes; acrylic paint media stability and the physical damage to acrylic coatings from shrinkage stresses during drying; fading of colorants from air pollutant exposure; fading of transparent paint glazes from light exposure and the relationship between photochemical

From page 224... ...
He has published work on Chinese ink (the ubiquitous black design component across China, Japan, and Korea) , lead-based white pigments, methods for the identification of organic colorants used as design components or as support dyes, painting techniques including those based on the use of precious metals, deterioration processes in East Asian paintings, and on other aspects of paintings as physical objects.
