Bruce R. Kowalski: The Maverick Mind Behind Chemometrics

Bruce R. Kowalski: The Maverick Mind Behind Chemometrics

In this Icons of Spectroscopy article, we take a look at the life and impact of Bruce Kowalski (1942-2012), a pioneering analytical chemist, who played a big role in developing chemometrics—the use of math to make sense of complex chemical data—and his work in data analysis, teaching, and software that has had a lasting influence on both academic and industrial chemistry.

Bruce R. Kowalski, also the co-founder of Infometrix, was a pioneer of chemometrics, known for advancing multivariate statistics and data analysis in chemistry. This article honors his legacy, from shaping chemometric theory and education to co-founding the Journal of Chemometrics. His global impact endures through mentorship, software tools, and leadership in analytical chemistry.

IMAGE ’25 – International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & Energy

IMAGE '25 MeetingVenue: George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, TX

Date: August 24-28, 2025

Short Course:  SC-01: Chemometric Tools to Establish Petroleum Systems, Predict Physical Properties, and De-Convolute Mixed Production

Course Leaders: Dr. Kenneth Peters from LSB NExT Training and Brian Rohrback from Infometrix will be leading the short course on August 24th.

This one-day course is for all geoscientists who want to extract hidden information from substantial amounts of chemical and physical data using multivariate statistical (chemometric) tools. The course emphasizes applications rather than the mathematics of various chemometric methods and will include a demo version of Pirouette 5.0 chemometric software. Case studies focus on the following topics of immediate interest to geoscientists:

• Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) of biomarker and stable isotope data for oil-oil and oil-source rock correlation to establish petroleum systems.
• Quantitative regression analysis of chromatographic peaks by alternate least squares (ALS) to de-convolute mixed oils derived from two or more sources. In exploration, ALS identifies mixed oils (e.g., pre-salt and post-salt oils in the Middle East and Southern Atlantic). In production, ALS allows allocation of mixtures originating from multiple reservoir zones.
• Prediction of physical properties by partial least squares (PLS) of data obtained by micro-analytical techniques. PLS allows investigators to predict API gravity, sulfur, and viscosity for reservoir zones where only small samples of cuttings from storage are available for analysis.

IFPAC 2024 – Real Time Data Analysis for Process Development

IFPAC 2024Venue: March 3-6, 2024 Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center Presented by: Brian Rohrback, Ph.D., MBA, President, Infometrix, Inc.   Abstract: Addressing challenges is why we are here. As scientists in our organizations, we are awash in data, but the mustering of these data into their actionable information content is a significant challenge. Clearly, we have tools from the univariate and multivariate statistical trove that help. Relatively recently, artificial intelligence or novel machine learning concepts are being applied with some success. Choosing the tools we apply and using these tools appropriately presents us with another challenge. Noting that the desired property metric will likely be only lightly correlated to the bits of data being assembled is challenging; blending the information extraction process for disparate sources of data adds to the challenge. From manufacturing quality monitoring to personalized medicine, diagnosing the health status needs to be done in real time for us to maintain reasonable control. The first step is to ensure that the input data is as noise-free as possible. Next is to turn data into an information feed that can be combined with other sources. Challenges reappear as we look to mine these data-information streams for a best-fit solution. Register at www.IFPACglobal.org/attendee-registration.
