Adam Finnefrock, Ph.D.
Vice President
Adam Finnefrock received his Ph.D. in condensed matter physics from Cornell University and conducted postdoctoral research on the application of x-ray methods to the study of complex materials while at Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania. While at SAFA, Dr. Finnefrock has developed new methods of analyzing paintings using synchrotron radiation and x-ray fluorescence to answer questions about attribution, state of preservation, and technology of manufacture, and other synchrotron-based methods of x-ray analysis such as microdiffraction and x-ray absorption spectroscopy to understand pigment speciation.
