Yves Tondeur
Education
MS Chemistry & Ph.D. Chemistry from Free University of Brussels
Postdoctoral Fellow, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC
Postdoctoral Fellow, Florida State University
Experience
Dr. Tondeur has more than 34 years of experience in environmental method development and applications. At the end of 1999, he started Analytical Perspectives, and is currently president and CEO. For nearly a decade and until recently, he was responsible for the day-to-day operations, Technical Director, and Quality Assurance Officer roles. During that time period, to comply with the promulgated EPA Methods Innovation Rule, he developed a tangible PBMS approach for comprehensive stable isotope-dilution mass spectrometry methodologies. The innovative analytical tool is applicable to Methods 8290, 23, TO-9A, 1613, 1668 and CARB 429. It aligns these methods’ infrastructures with one that is better suited for the true and sustained application of PBMS. Embedded in the methodology are new, additional, and more effective QA/QC raising the laboratory’s performance to higher levels than ever before; thus, significantly enhancing the data reliability and ensuring the data is fit for purpose. Dr. Tondeur helped introduce isotope-dilution high-resolution mass spectrometric methodologies to the commercial field, authoring the first version of Method 8290. In the late eighties and early nineties, while as a partner with Triangle Laboratories, Dr. Tondeur worked with the EPA Office of Water in the development of Method 1613, and with the Office of Air Quality and Planning Standards in the development of the analytical section of Method 23. He organized a series of Executive Seminars at Analytical Perspectives, and has offered numerous training seminars; e.g., QA in Thailand for USAID, teaching at the College of Mechanical & Energy Engineering, Zhejiang University, China; USEPA RTP, NC Workshop, and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Workshop. He has published nearly 100 peer-reviewed articles in the scientific literature, some of which are book chapters. Several invited plenary lectures were given by Dr. Tondeur at International Symposia. He holds a patent on a process for extracting 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, and, in March 2012, he was inducted into the Source Evaluation Society’s Hall of Fame.
In April 2012, SGS acquired the assets of Analytical Perspectives. Dr. Tondeur is currently VP at SGS Analytical Perspective
