Frantisek Tureček is the Klaus and Mary Ann Saegebarth Endowed Professor of Chemistry at the University of Washington. He was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, where he received a PhD in organic chemistry from Charles University in 1977. In 1987 he left Czechoslovakia and joined Fred McLafferty at Cornell University. In 1990 he joined the faculty of the Chemistry Department at University of Washington, Seattle, as Associate Professor and was promoted to Professor in 1995. He was also VIP Visiting Professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Aarhus, Denmark (2007), Visiting Professor at Ecole Polytechnique Palaiseau (2008, 2010), Universite Marie Curie, Paris (2008), and Universite de Normandie, Rouen (2013), and the Royal Society Kan Tong Po Visiting Professor at the University of Hong Kong (2014).
"Professor McLafferty's text has become a classic for classroom or
self study concerned with interpreting mass spectra in order to
discern molecular structures or identities of
compounds."--International Journal of Mass Spectrometry
"Strongly recommended...the standard for chemists needing to
interpret mass spectra."--Choice
