His fields of expertise include the interaction of radiation with matter, and chemistry and physics of atmospheres with particular application to remote sensing. He was the co-recipient of the 1998 Sir Harold Thompson Memorial Award, which is presented by Pergamon Journals, Ltd. to the authors of the paper that makes the most significant contribution to spectroscopy. Gamache was selected by Thompson-Reuters for their list of “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds 2014.” He is currently principal investigator for more than $400K in federal grants, with over three million in external funding received to date. His research interest is the interaction of radiation with matter in the collision process, and chemistry and physics of planetary atmospheres with particular application to remote sensing. Prof. Gamache’s current work aids satellite programs of NASA’s Earth Observing System, missions to Mars and Venus, several satellite programs of ESA, EUMETSAT and CNES, and the study of the atmospheres of exoplanets. Gamache is recognized as one of the leading researchers in his field.
