Erin Shammel Baker is an American bioanalytical chemist specializing in developing ion mobility-mass spectrometry hybrid instruments for biological and environmental applications. Baker is an expert in the research of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances analysis.
Baker grew up on a cattle ranch in Montana, US. [1] Her interests in chemistry stemmed from a determination to understand the arsenic and cyanide pollution from gold mines that affected animals on her family's ranch and local wildlife. [2] [3] She obtained a bachelor of science in chemistry, with a minor in mathematics from Montana State University in 2001, where she conducted research using ion mobility spectrometry in Eric Grimsrud's laboratory. [1] [4] [5] She continued with research in ion mobility spectrometry in graduate school, and received a PhD in chemistry under the direction of Michael T. Bowers from University of California, Santa Barbara in 2005. [4] [5]
After graduation, Baker did post-doctoral research in Richard D. Smiths' laboratory at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and was later promoted to senior research scientist. [1] [5] In 2018, she began her academic career at North Carolina State University as associate professor, and moved to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2022. [6]
Baker's publication record has been described as "prolific"; [3] she has co-authored 110 publications by 2019. [7] The scope of Baker's research involves both developing high throughput ion mobility–mass spectrometry (IMS–MS) systems [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] and using these hybrid instruments to study biological and environmental systems. [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] She was one of five researchers from the PNNL Interactive Omics Group who worked on the Structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM). [18] The group received the R&D 100 Award for their effort on SLIM in 2017. [19] She was also part of the PNNL team who helped with the commercialization of the Agilent 6560 Ion Mobility Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (IM–QTOF) Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometer system. [3] [20] [21] She is an expert in the research of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) analysis. [22] [23] [24] She is the director of the Core of Advanced Platform Technologies Used for Remediation and Exploration (CAPTURE), the analytical branch of the PFAS Superfund Research Centre. [25] [26] [27] She is named one of the "Worldwide Water Warriors" in 2017. [28]
Baker served as a member-at-large for education for the American Society for Mass Spectrometry from 2019 to 2020. [29] She serves on the editorial board of Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, [30] Journal of Proteome Research, [31] International Journal of Mass Spectrometry, [32] and Scientific Reports.
