Griffin's resume
Dr. Griffin works on stellar atmospheres and composite stellar spectra.  She has several observing programmes at high-dispersion, using a CCD. However, her early work was photographic, so she became a defender of the need to incorporate that older form into modern research, and she is chair of the IAU working group on Preservation & Digitization Plate in Commission 5 (Documentation & Astronomical Data)
