Dr. Patrick S. W. Mills is a Scientific Advisor with Patti, Hewitt & Arezina LLC. Dr. Mills provides technical assistance in the preparation and prosecution of patent applications and the rendering of opinions for patent infringement and validity and for product clearance and patentability concerning the physical and life sciences.
Dr. Patrick S. W. Mills is Professor of Chemistry at Joliet Junior College, IL., where he teaches analytical and general chemistry. Dr. Mills’ research background is in the field of Surface Science and Catalysis, with specialization in the characterization of surfaces and surface related processes via both experimental and computational methods. Dr. Mills has experience with the experimental techniques of AA, AES, GC, LEED, MS, NMR, PM-RAIRS, RAIRS, TDS, XPS, XRC and XRD, as well as the operation and maintenance of UHV equipment, such as quadruple MS, ion gauges and assorted (turbomolecular, diffusion, sublimation, ion, TSP and mechanical) vacuum pumps.
Dr. Mills was formerly a member of faculty at North Central College, Naperville, IL and a visiting faculty at Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA. Prior to embarking on his academic career, Dr. Mills worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, with Sir. Prof. David King, at the University of Cambridge, England.
Dr. Mills received his Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree in chemistry from The University of Reading, England in 1991 and his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Illinois in 1997.
