Dr. Catherine Schmidt Patterson (Conservation Institute, The Getty) will return to campus to give two talks this week.<\/p>\n

“Science of Art–Art of Science: \u00a0Conservation Science and Fourteenth-Century Florentine Painting Practice” \u00a0Thursday, September 25, 7:00 p.m., OP 2210 (Hosted by the Art History Society)<\/p>\n

“More from Less: \u00a0Scientific Techniques for the Study of Museum Objects” \u00a0 Friday, September 26, 12:30 p.m., MG 1000<\/p>\n

Catherine Schmidt Patterson (Truman State University\u00a02002; \u00a0BS in Chemistry with an Art History minor) is an Associate Scientist at the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) in Los Angeles, where she is a member of the GCI\u2019s Collections Research Laboratory.\u00a0 Her primary areas of research are the use of non- or minimally-invasive techniques such as Raman microspectroscoy and x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to study works of art, the development of new analytical methodologies, and technology transfer for the benefit of cultural heritage science.\u00a0 Prior to joining the GCI as a member of staff in 2009, she was selected for the GCI\u2019s prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowship in Conservation Science (2007-2009). She received her Ph.D. at Northwestern University, where her research focused on the fundamental physical chemistry governing the interaction of small organic molecules with catalytic surfaces (Thesis Title: Interaction of Indoor Air Pollutants with Titanium Dioxide Catalyst Coatings Studied by Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry).<\/p>\n

Dr. Schmidt Patterson’s visit is sponsored by the Department of Chemistry. \u00a0All talks are free and open to the public. \u00a0We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
