analytical chemistry, process development, and failure analysis to
assist industry in high precision and general industrial cleaning.
Her process
development projects include such diverse areas as wafer fabrication,
biomedical devices, miniature and seismic protection bearings,
and aircraft components.
She investigates and resolves product failure issues. Working with
suppliers of cleaning agents and cleaning equipment, she develops
and tests new products
to meet and often exceed engineering, economic, and regulatory requirements.
Her clients range from small, family companies to major international
corporations. Her legal advisory and expert witness activities
include civil, intellectual
property, and criminal cases.
Barbara is the editor-in-chief of the acclaimed "Handbook For Critical
Cleaning,” 2001, CRC Press; she also contributed several chapters,
including one concerned with cleaning processes for critical applications,
including biomedical devices. She has conducted numerous seminars
and tutorials, both public and for individual companies; and she
has well over 150 presentations
and publications in cleaning and contamination control, including
programs for biomedical and other high-value applications. She is
a member of the
Joint Service Solvent Substitution Working Group. She delivered an
invited presentation at the ASTM F04-sponsored Workshop Addressing
Cleanliness
Issues In Biomedical Devices, Kansas City, MO, (“Cleanliness
and Surface Quality in Biomedical Devices”); and she is a member
of ASTM F04.15.17 "Cleanliness Testing Task Force. " She
was an invited speaker at the International Thermal Spray Association.
She
presented
a special tutorial covering cleaning, surface quality, and contamination
issues for the residents and faculty of the University of Southern
California Graduate School of Periodontics. She co-authors a column
dealing with
surface
characterization, contamination detection and contamination control
for life science, microelectronic, and other critical applications
which
regularly appears in Controlled Environments Magazine.
Barbara has been appointed to the University of Massachusetts Lowell
Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) Surface Cleaning Laboratory
Advisory Committee;
and she served on the Editorial Advisory Board of CleanTech Magazine.
Barbara Kanegsberg received the 1996 U. S. EPA Stratospheric Ozone
Protection Award
for her accomplishments in commercial and military process implementation
and in regulatory policy research.
Barbara is also President of the Surface Quality Resource Center
(SQRC), a not for profit organization. The charter of SCRC includes
education
and outreach to both industry and to communities impacted by industrial
activities
as well as with development of high-performance, economically sound,
safe, and environmentally preferred processes.
Barbara has a B.A. in Biology from Bryn Mawr College and an M.S.
in Biochemistry from Rutgers University.

Ed Kanegsberg
Dr. Ed Kanegsberg is a consultant in manufacturing process
development and modification with a concentration in critical
cleaning, surface
preparation, process design, and failure analysis/resolution.
As Vice President of BFK Solutions, he uses his 35 years
of experience in chemical physics and engineering to
address production
yield
issues through process improvement, materials substitution,
and component
modification. His background is in the design, development,
testing, and manufacture
of critical precision instruments. He utilizes this
background to rapidly and effectively troubleshoot an array of
fabrication
process
problems;
he has been known to pinpoint the source of equipment
problems more rapidly than the equipment supplier.
He also coordinates the transition of the product from
the engineering laboratory to the fabrication facility
or factory.
His concerns
include issues of scale-up, technical training, procedures
and documentation,
customer requirements (including military requirements
if applicable), and regulatory
issues. He utilizes his analytical skills in issues
relating to intellectual property.
Ed conducts site visits and audits. He is involved
in research in environmental policy. His activities
include cost/benefit
analyses for economic and
regulatory applications. Ed specializes in the
technical and analytical evaluation
that allow optimal resolution of regulatory permitting
problems.
Ed is co-editor of the comprehensive “Handbook for Critical Cleaning,” CRC
Press, 2001. He also co-authors a column that appears
regularly in Controlled Environments Magazine;
he specializes in explaining the practical
importance and the
basis of operation of new analytical technology.
His presentations and publications emphasize the physics
of general cleaning,
critical cleaning,
and surface quality.
As a confirmed believer that most of rocket science
can be understood by non rocket scientists, he
has extensive publications
and has
conducted scores of workshops, both public and
for individual companies as
well as
for the military. He is a technical adviser, working
with all levels of interest and sophistication
including technicians,
other engineers,
and
upper management.
Ed has been awarded numerous U.S. and foreign patents.
He has a B.S. in Physics from Massachusetts Institute
of Technology
and
a Ph.D.
in Physics
from Rutgers University.

David Kanegsberg
David Kanegsberg, Photographer and Videographer,
provides prompt, efficient, creative photographic,
video and
design layouts.
An active photographer
for nearly 15 years, David’s background
and education in artistic photography allows
him to achieve realistic,
compelling images in the
industrial sector. He works in an efficient,
non-invasive manner in your facility
or in a studio setting. He also researches
and understands the product operation and
function; this assures that
the product will appear dynamic
rather than static. The end results of
this effort are visuals that depict the
product and process in an informative,
accurate, and compelling manner.
David has done photography for commercial
product brochures and for poster blow-ups.
His videography
includes a
technical training
video
for a commercial
parts washer. He has done technical photo
editing for Litton Industries. His industrial
photographs
have
been featured
on the covers of
Precision Cleaning,” “Finishers Management,” and “A2C2” Magazines.
His design layout activities include brochures
and newsletters (printed and electronic)
as well as web design.
David has a BFA in photography from Rhode
Island School of Design.
