Anastasia Rousaki and her team at Ghent University in Belgium are utilizing advanced Raman spectroscopy techniques, including mobile non-invasive methods, to analyze the composition of art from various historical periods, from prehistoric rock art paintings in Patagonia to 19th to 20th century Greek paintings and 21st-century murals in Reggio Emilia, providing insights for art preservation and historical understanding.

Telling the Story of Art Using Mobile Raman Technology

Aaron Acevedo is an assistant editor for LCGC and Spectroscopy at MJH Life Sciences.

Ishan Barman, the 2023 recipient of the Coblentz Society Clara Craver Award, held a plenary session during SciX that focuses on transformative biophotonics in disease detection and monitoring.

Ishan Barman Wins 2023 Clara Craver Award at SciX

As a preview to SciX 2023, Spectroscopy magazine sat down with Juergen Popp of the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology to ask him about his research exploring the use of Raman spectroscopy in applications such as infectious diseases and cancer diagnostics. 

Developing Linear and Non-linear Raman Approaches to Address Important Biomedical Questions

The Coblentz Society created the Clara Craver Award to recognize young individuals who have made significant contributions in applied analytical vibrational spectroscopy. The work may include any aspect of infrared (IR), terahertz (THz), or Raman spectroscopy in applied analytical vibrational spectroscopy. This year’s recipient, Ishan Barman, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University with joint appointments in Oncology and Radiology and Radiological Science.
