MCLinc's core technical
staff includes nine founders, including three Ph.D.'s in physical sciences
and six degreed professionals with experience in chemistry, chemical engineering
and materials science. The laboratory's technical team has a total of
over 250 years of combined industrial experience. Eight employees have
either an L or Q DOE security clearance. Four employees have DOD secret
clearances. Barry A. Stephenson Mr. Stephenson is President and Chief Executive Officer of MCLinc. He is a chemist with over 32 years of experience, including 25 years in senior management positions in environmental analytical laboratories. His experience includes all aspects of laboratory operations, administration, project management, program development, and business development. Mr. Stephenson has extensive experience in building and start-up of fixed based, mobile and on-site laboratories and management of field analytical and sampling services. William. D. Bostick Dr. Bostick is the Technical Director for MCLinc. He received a B.A. Degree from Vanderbilt University (Chemistry) and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Georgia (Analytical Chemistry). He has over 28 years of experience in technical areas that include instrumentation development, separation science, spectroscopy, bioanalytical chemistry, hazardous and radiological waste treatment and waste stabilization, thermal treatment technologies, and regulatory and compliance issues. In 1990, he received a Martin Marietta Technical Achievement Award for "outstanding insight and initiative in individual and leadership contributions in the waste management program," and in 1991, staff members received an R&D100 award for development of a process to recycle electroless nickel plating baths. Dr. Bostick has authored or co-authored over 130 publications and formal technical reports, and has three U.S. patents and five government-owned patent applications. Current professional affiliations include American Chemical Society, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Air & Waste Management Association, and Sigma Xi. Robert J. Stevenson Dr. Stevenson has a B.S. in Geology from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, a M.S. in Geology from the University of Minnesota-Duluth, and a Ph.D. in geology from the University of Minnesota. Former affiliations include Principle Instructor of Electron Microscopy courses at McCrone Research Institute, Manager of the Natural Materials Analytical Laboratory of the University of North Dakota, and Microparticulate analyst for the Minnesota Department of Health. Dr. Stevenson has technical expertise in materials characterization and testing using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray fluorescence. He has over 50 technical reports, publications, and presentations in these areas. He currently is affiliated with ASTM Committee D22.07. Larry A. Harris B.A., M.S. degrees in Geochemistry. Extensive experience in instrumental analysis, and R&D in the fields of nuclear materials and fossil fuels. He has over 42 years of applied and basic research and development experience. He has worked on the nuclear fuel cycle, basic coal research, crystal growth phenomena, X-ray fluorescence instrumentation development, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, infrared microscopy and many other applications. He was a principle contributor to MCLinc work on mercury speciation in soil, and is currently supporting thorium nitrate treatability and dispensation studies for the Defense Logistic Agency.
