A continuation of our conversation with Janam Pandya, Product Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific, highlights the challenges of operating field-deployable instruments in harsh, rugged landscapes.

Minjung Son, an assistant professor of chemistry at Boston University, and her group is developing nanomaterials and polaritons, which is important for energy conversion technologies.

What should attendees do to make the most out of their ISMS 2026 conference experience?

This review highlights major advances in infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy from 2022–2026, including instrument miniaturization, hyperspectral imaging, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. These developments are expanding the use of vibrational spectroscopy beyond the laboratory into portable and field-deployable analytical systems. Environmental applications such as microplastic detection, biosolids analysis, soil characterization, and contaminant monitoring are emerging as key growth areas.
