William C. Byrdwell, PhD, FAOCS (he/him/his)

Research Chemist
USDA ARS BHNRC MAFCL
Beltsville, MD, United States

Dr. Byrdwell is a Research Chemist at the Methods and Application of Food Composition Laboratory, in the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, which is part of the Agricultural Research Service, the research branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Dr. Byrdwell received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Louisville, writing his dissertation on identification of the ‘Unknown Phospholipid’ in the human eye lens, and quantification of fluorophores in normal and cataractous lenses. Dr. Byrdwell took a position at the USDA’s National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, to work on and publish the first and other reports of analysis of triacylglycerols (TAGs) using HPLC with APCI-MS. Then, Dr. Byrdwell took a position at Florida Atlantic University, where he first and then routinely employed dual mass spectrometers, in parallel, using both APCI-MS and ESI-MS. He re-joined ARS in 2005, and took on quantification of Vitamin D and TAGs. Recently, Dr. Byrdwell next began analyzing fat-soluble vitamins and TAGs using triple- and quadruple- parallel mass spectrometry approaches, combining three or four mass spectrometers employing complementary ionization methods (APCI-MS, APPI-MS, and ESI-MS). Next, Dr. Byrdwell couple multiple mass spectrometers two and then three liquid chromatographs in two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) experiments, designated LCx/MSy, depending on the number of LC and mass spectrometers. Dr. Byrdwell has published >70 peer-reviewed articles, 10 book chapters, and been Editor/Co-Editor of three AOCS Press books. He is on the editorial advisory board of Lipids, is the Lipidomics Associate Editor for The Lipid Library (www.LipidLibrary.com), and maintains numerous websites. Dr. Byrdwell's Hirsh index (h-index) is 30 in Scopus, 31 at ResearchGate, and 33 on Google Scholar. Dr. Byrdwell received the 2012 American Oil Chemists’ Society Analytical Division Herbert J. Dutton Award, presented the 2013 Society of Chemical Industry Julius Lewkowitsch Award Lecture, and in 2019 was awarded Fellow of the American Oil Chemists’ Society.
