Adam Gilmore, of Horiba Scientific’s Piscataway, New Jersey office, shared the 2022 Japanese Photochemistry Association Technical Award for Fluorescence Instrumentation with Kiyoaki Hara of Horiba STEC, and Yuichi Kitagawa of Horiba Techno Service’s Analytical and Testing Technology Department.
The award was present at the annual meeting on Photochemistry 2022 at Kyoto University (Kyoto, Japan) for their “Development of Ultra-Sensitive Modular Fluorescence Spectrometer with Time-Resolved Function and its Applications.”
The Japanese Photochemistry Association, established in 1976, is an academic society, with more than 1,000 individual members and 43 supporting members, that conducts basic research and a wide range of applied technologies in the fields of photochemistry and phototechnology.
The Photochemistry Society of Japan's Technology Award is presented to individuals who have made outstanding achievements in the development or industrialization of photochemistry-applied technologies, and who have been recommended by other members or directors. This year's Technology Award was recommended by Professor Naoto Tamai of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Kwansei Gakuin University, in Japan.

In this Q&A, we provide an overview of what the latest “What’s Nu” covered, which includes new research in environmental analysis and clinical analysis.
How has spectroscopy training changed? A recent panel discussion explored this topic, discussing how SpecAcademy can widen access without losing the value of hands-on instruction.
How has spectroscopy education evolved over the years?
FT-IR spectroscopy, long treated as a mature bench technique for confirming a carbonyl stretch or fingerprinting a polymer, has quietly become one of chemistry’s most versatile discovery engines: it now infers molecular structure straight from a spectrum without a reference library, resolves chemistry tens of nanometers wide, and screens a fingerstick of blood for disease in minutes. The last five years of published research show FT-IR moving from a confirmatory tool into a predictive, autonomous, and field-ready analytical platform.
In this panel discussion, five SpecAcademy instructors examined why spectroscopy expertise has declined and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it through curated, fundamentals-based education suited to increasingly complex analytical work.
A recent roundtable discussion with the SpecAcademy instructors explored why spectroscopy expertise has eroded and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it.
