Independent Consultants -
The following is a list of individuals who are offering paid,
independent consulting services for charged particle optics or mass
spec design in conjunction with SIMION. These individuals provide a
high level of experience and might be available to assist you in
certain aspects of setting up simulations or even do entire parts of
the design/simulation/analysis for you. Please provide details of
your requirements when requesting a quote (non-disclosure agreement
may be created). (Please notify SIS if you would
like to be added to this list.)

-- My experience includes over 20 years of charged particle device design aided by computer simulations (first e-gun, from SLAC, and later SIMION beginning with version 3). In recent projects, I have developed user programs for optimization of arbitrary figures of merit of the system, including resolution and ion transmission. I have extensive experience with ion traps, ion source interfacing, and time-of-flight designs, including examination of the effects of ion-neutral collisions on their operation and performance. - Dr. Sergei Koltsov,

-- I have about seven years experience in Auger electron spectroscopy and five years in mass spectrometry. Experience includes dealing with the simulation of energy analyzers, developing software to control the electronics for analyzers and of course with experiments. I worked with magnet mass spectrometers, time of flight mass spectrometers, quadrupole (mode of trap and ion guide) and have also simulated TOF, quadrupole, lenses and so on. Main software used is SIMION (author of Virtual Device). In general my specialization in physics is numerical simulation and can bring complicated theory to experiment. I have also worked in Sweden and Germany. (summary of activity)
