We wish to welcome Steve Buynovsky to his new position as Field Service Engineer & Service Coordinator for our micro-CT instruments. Steve’s background makes him an excellent fit for this position, where his where his efforts will be split between micro-CT field service and helping coordinate our team’s field service efforts and service-related inventory. In addition to troubleshooting, diagnosing, repairing, and providing preventive maintenance for our micro-CT customers, Steve will be using his extensive field experience to ensure that the researchers we serve have minimum downtime and that their field experience is efficient and as painless as possible. By working with scientists around the country on our suite of micro-CT instruments, Steve will also be able to assist researchers with various applications to get the most out of their instrument to produce the best possible results.
Steve has a BS in Biochemistry from Moravian College and additional coursework from Bowdoin College in infrared spectroscopy. Steve began his career as a head cosmetic chemist for private label entrepreneurs. From there, he migrated into instrumentation and focused on Infrared, UV-Vis, and ICP spectroscopy. He then moved on to PerkinElmer to become a Team Leader and Senior Field Service Specialist for the east coast. He also trained global teams on FT-IR Microscopy (Fourier Transform Infrared Microscopy). During his time at PerkinElmer Steve received the Field Service Engineer of the Year Award.
When asked about coming from a larger company to a smaller company, Steve said, “I can honestly say going to a smaller company is 10X better for me. Not only do I feel more valued in a smaller company, but each customer gets the personable, comprehensive attention they deserve. I am honored to be a part of something truly great at Micro Photonics, where they lead the industry in instrumentation for research and development and perform micro-miracles for cutting edge and newly emerging technologies.”
Steve and his wife Anna have a 5-year-old son named Stevie. They enjoy exploring the world and watching their son grow. Steve was a college basketball and volleyball athlete and both sports remain part of his weekly routine. Steve loves to be outdoors for any activity, from hiking and backpacking to birdwatching and fossil hunting.
