Justin Collins, Applications Engineer

I graduated from UIUC with a BS in Statistics. Formerly, I was a Data Engineer and Consultant at Capgemini which helped me build a technical & analytical problem solving foundation for this position. My daily activities include developing applications for our customers and running statistical tests. I am excited to learn from the best in our industry and becoming an expert in XRF technology!

Rocelyn Lin, Standards Technician

I work in the Standards lab to manufacture and certify customer standards. I have a BS in Biology DePaul University and previous experience working at Test America as a Supervisor for organic chemistry (HPLC, GC/MS, and GC), as well as inorganic chemistry (Wet Chemistry, AA, ICP). I enjoy learning more about this industry and am looking forward to getting good at what I do. 

Amira, Production Engineer

At Bowman, I work in Production Assembly. I went to school in Venezuela. My day-to-day activities consist of assembling both electrical and mechanical components for Bowman XRF systems. My favorite part about working at Bowman is that I feel very comfortable working here. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. The calm environment helps me focus on my work and get things done quickly and efficiently.
