ILASS BOARD BIOGRAPHIES: WILLIAM BACHALO

William Bachalo, PhD, attended the very first ILASS meeting in Madison, WI in 1987. ILASS was the ideal group for him to learn about application requirements, atomization and spray technology in order to sell his invention, the Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer. Will was elected to the board in 1990 and has served as treasurer, vice chairman and chairman. He has primarily been involved in diagnostics and experimentation and feels ILASS offers a broad range of interest in atomization/sprays and the application of these technologies to solve problems that affect our lives.

Will is co-founder, president and senior scientist of Artium Technologies, Inc. He also founded and was president of Aerometrics, Inc. for 18 years. Will invented the phase Doppler interferometry method and led the development of the Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer now known as the Phase Doppler Interferometer. Artium was formed in 1998 with the goal of commercializing Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII) into an easy-to-use but powerful research and on-line soot emissions monitoring tool. In the past years, Artium has developed next generation Phase Doppler Interferometry instrumentation. Dr. Bachalo is also vice president of Scientific Affairs at Islet Technology, Inc., a company working on a treatment for Type 1 diabetes using islet transplantation.
