The 2012 FACSS−SciX Awards Series


The 2012 Analytical Chemistry & Spectroscopy Awards presented by FACSS and its member societies at SciX

A podcast series presented in collaboration with the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS), in connection with SciX 2012 — the Great Scientific Exchange, the North American conference (39th Annual) of FACSS. Interviewees are all recipients of awards granted by FACSS or FACSS member societies.

Episode 1: S. Michael Angel, winner of the 2012 William F. Meggers Award and a 2011 FACSS Innovation Award.
S. Michael Angel of the University of South Carolina has been developing a spatial heterodyne spectrometer for conducting Raman spectroscopy in planetary space missions.
Episode 2: Duncan Graham, winner of the 2012 Coblentz Society Craver Award.
Duncan Graham of the University of Strathclyde, in Glasgow, Scotland, on the use of SERS for biomedical analysis at the nanometer scale.
Episode 3: Peter Griffiths, winner of the 2012 ANACHEM award
Peter Griffiths, an emeritus professor of chemistry at the University of Idaho, reflects on a career in IR and Raman, and offers advice for the next generation.
Episode 4: Justin Cooper, winner of a 2011 FACSS Innovation Award
Justin Cooper and Joel Harris at the University of Utah are using single-molecule fluorescence imaging to study the dynamics of molecular transport within chromatographic stationary phases. Here is what they have found.
Episode 5: Bernhard Lendl and Cosima Koch, winners of a 2011 FACSS Innovation Award
Bernhard Lendl and Cosima Koch of the Vienna University of Technology have developed a new method for on-line monitoring of fermentations using mid-infrared spectroscopy.
Episode 6: An interview with Alexander Bol'shakov, winner of a 2011 FACSS Innovation Award
Alexander Bol'shakov of Applied Spectra, along with colleagues at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the NASA-Ames Research Center have developed a new technique, LAMIS, that can carry out rapid isotopic mapping.
Episode 7: An interview with Ralph Sturgeon, winner of the 2012 Lester W. Strock Award
Ralph Sturgeon, of the Chemical Metrology Group Laboratory of Measurement Science and Standards at the National Research Council Canada, discusses current issues in atomic spectroscopy, including sample introduction — including his work on UV photogeneration as a sample introduction system — speciation, isotope analysis, and the analysis of nanomaterials.
Episode 8: Don Pivonka, winner of the 2012 Charles Mann Award
Don Pivonka, a senior principal chemist at Incyte Corporation and the winner of the 2012 Charles Mann Award for applied Raman spectroscopy, is known for his work studying structure-activity relationships. He sees excellent opportunities for expanding the use of Raman spectroscopy in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly through the collaboration of analytical, computational, and medicinal chemists.
