Analytica 2024: An Interview with Uwe Karst

Matthieu Baudelet, an associate professor of Chemistry at the National Center for Forensic Science at the University of Central Florida, is currently exploring how laser-based spectroscopic techniques can be used in forensic anthropology. Spectroscopy recently sat down with Matthieu Baudelet, Kristen Livingston, and Katie Zejdlik to discuss their research as part of “The Future of Forensic Analysis” content series.

As part of “The Future of Forensic Analysis” content series presented by Spectroscopy, we sat down with Dr. Rajinder Singh of Department of Forensic Science, Punjabi University, Patiala, to talk about his recent work using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT-IR) to distinguish different animal species based on hair samples.

As part of "The Future of Forensic Analysis," executive editor Jerome Workman, Jr. sat down with Igor Lednev to discuss several of his recent papers related to his spectroscopic research in forensic analysis.

A joint French-Canadian study examined the ripening process of commercially popular Comté and cheddar cheeses, which are widely consumed in those countries, utilizing mid-infrared (mid-IR) and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) in their analysis.

A recent article authored by scientists from the Institute of Sport and Preventive Medicine, part of the University of Saarland (Saarbrücken, Germany), discusses their investigation of the absolute and relative test-retest reliability of the Moxy Monitor, as well as their investigations into side differences of oxygen saturation at the vastus lateralis muscle of both legs in male cyclists.

Spectroscopy Magazine sits down with Benjamin T. Manard of the Chemical Sciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge, Tennessee), who will be receiving the Lester W. Strock Award, given by the New England Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, this October.
