Emile C. Joel Deal Lewis was a research chemist who specialized in the application of mass spectrometric techniques to date artifacts of archaeological and historical materials through lead isotope analysis.
Life and Education[edit]
Emile was born April 3, 1949 in Washington, DC to Alfred H. and Mamie R. Joel. Shhe attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School and Anacostia High School in Southeast DC.
She attended the former Washington Technical Institute where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry.
She passed away on May 13, 2015 in Kampala Uganda, Africa. [1].
Scientific Career[edit]
In her early career she used her degree in Chemistry when working for the Harry Diamond Laboratories and the DC Lead Prevention Program. She also worked at the DC Public Library and the National Archives and Records Administration which introducted her to the cultural heritage field.
She was finally able to join her chemistry and cultral heritage experience in xxxx when she began working for the Smithsonian Institutions at their National Museum of Asian Art and Smithsonian Center for Materials Research and Education (SCRME) which is now the Museum Conservation Institute.
Working with the Smithsonian Institution and the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) she was able to analyze lead isotopes for unique and historically valuable artifacts around the world and helped develop the lead isotope ratio database through the Lead Isotope Ratio Program.[2].[3]
She left the Smithsonian in xxxx.
Publications and Research[edit]
Throughout her career she published dozens of articles and papers related to her scientific research and accomplishments. Most are publicly available through the Smithsonian Research Online and the Bibliographic Database of the Conservation Information Network.
