B.S. in Chemistry and B.S. in Mathematics (Emory University), Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry (Emory University with Prof. Joseph B. Justice). Dr. Nicolaysen is Senior Director of the Mass Spectrometry Business, Americas Field Operations at Waters Corporation.
Dr. Nicolaysen is responsible for MS business operations at Waters. This includes field sales and marketing, Waters’ participation at scientific conferences, exhibits and meetings, and both customer and Waters employee training and application support at the MS Technical Center in Beverly, MA. Additionally, he serves as a focal point in the development of strategy and coordination of initiatives involving R&D, marketing and Americas field operations. His graduate research on mathematical modeling of dopamine release and uptake utilized mass spectrometry, GC, HPLC, in vivo micro dialysis and electrochemistry, kinetic modeling, and computer optimization to address questions in neurochemistry. While in graduate school, Dr. Nicolaysen also participated in a co-op program at the Centers for Disease Control, working primarily on the measurement of serum polychlorinated dioxins and furans. Dr. Nicolaysen joined VG Instruments as an applications chemist at VG Savannah Labs in 1988, focusing on LC/MS and computer applications. He then took on management of the MS Applications Laboratory and relocated this activity to the VG Instruments USA headquarters in Massachusetts in 1989. After Fisons Instruments acquired VG Instruments in 1990, he held management positions in the applications laboratory, for MS products and in marketing. Dr. Nicolaysen was Director of Sales and Marketing for Micromass when it was formed as a private company in 1996. He continued in this role after Waters acquired Micromass in 1997, and has held his current position since Waters’ integration in 2002.
Dr. Nicolaysen joined the American Society of Mass Spectrometry in 1988. He has represented Waters and its predecessors as a corporate member and as a member of the ASMS Corporate Member Advisory Committee since it was formed. For over 20 years, he has been responsible for ASMS User Meetings and the Hospitality Suite presence of VG, Fisons, Micromass, and now Waters. Dr. Nicolaysen is also a member of the American Chemical Society, Sigma Xi, and Phi Beta Kappa.
