Dr. Thibault has more than 30 years in the analytical instrumentation field. After earning his PhD in analytical chemistry at Tufts University, Medford, MA, he joined Bruker Instruments, where he developed software for the control and analysis of NMR and Mass Spectrometers. In 1995 he moved to Leybold Inficon in Upstate New York where he helped develop a portable GC-MS for field identification and quantification of volatile organic compounds. While at Inficon, Dr. Thibault was involved in the development of a variety of instruments, including residual gas analyzers (RGA), thin film deposition controllers, particle size analyzers, and a variety of techniques for monitoring the semiconductor fabrication process.

In 2007, Dr. Thibault joined Quantachrome Instruments, initially managing the new product development efforts and later joining the Science Group, where he currently is involved in application development, research, support, and training. In this role he bridges the important gap between the end-user applications and the engineering and development of new instruments and techniques. Some current areas of interest include characterization of metal organic frameworks (MOF) using hydrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption at a variety of temperatures.
