Gary Sides
Dr. Sides has more than 30 years of experience in the development and manufacture of automated, near-real-time (NRT) monitoring systems for chemical agents and related chemicals. Dr. Sides’ accomplishments include the development and manufacture of small quantities of the ACAMS (1978-1990), the NRT monitoring system for GB, VX, and HD that was used at five US demilitarization sites (JACADS, ANCDF, PBCDF, TOCDF, and UMCDF). He also founded CMS Research Corporation in 1986, now a division of OICO, and developed and manufactured the MINICAMS and numerous monitoring accessory products from 1987-1998. The MINICAMS—capable of monitoring for all agents of interest, including Lewisite—was used at two previous US demilitarization sites (ABCDF and NECDF) and is currently intended for use at two other sites (PCAPP and BGCAPP). Dr. Sides has also conducted extensive studies involving the detection, chemical decontamination, and thermal destruction of chemicals agents; developed NRT analytical methods for ACAMS and MINICAMS for all agents in the US stockpile; and conducted numerous studies of the permeation of chemical agents through protective barrier materials. Dr. Sides currently serves as the Chief Scientist for Battelle’s Demilitarization Business Unit. He has a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Florida.
