Dr. Banish has many years of experience in vacuum and high pressure instrumentation, optical methodologies and chemical analysis. He has performed a wide range of chemical analysis on solids, liquids and gases and has developed a range of hardware for both high and low temperature operation. He has experience in or has performed a wide range of optical measurement including holography, interferometry, optical density measurements, and species concentration measurements. He has developed instrumentation for in-situ species concentration and particle nucleation measurements. Dr. Banish has a thermal diffusivity methodology paper that is one of the top-ten cited papers in that field.
