Spectroscopy magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Bernhard Lendl to its editorial advisory board.
Lendl heads the research division on environmental and process analytical chemistry at the Technische Universität Wien (TUW) in Wien, Austria, where he was appointed full professor of vibrational spectroscopy in 2016. He received his PhD in technical chemistry from TUW in 1996, where he was a research assistant from 1994–2001. He worked as a guest professor at the Universidad de Córdoba, in Spain. In 2008, he founded the TUW spin-off company QuantaRed Technologies GmbH.
Lendl’s research focuses on advancing analytical sciences through the development of novel analytical techniques and instrumentation based on infrared and Raman spectroscopy and their application to environmental and process analytical chemistry, material characterization, and bio-medical diagnostics. His scientific work is documented in more than 200 papers published in international journals, 12 book chapters, and several patents. He received the Robert Kellner Lecture DAC (EuCheMS) in 2015, the FACSS Innovation Award in 2011, the Dr. Wolfgang Houska Award (B&C Foundation) in 2008, the Christian Doppler Award (government of Salzburg) in 2004, and the Fritz Pregl Award (Austrian Academy of Sciences) in 2002.
In July 2015, Lendl organized the 8th International Conference on Advance Vibrational Spectroscopy (ICAVS-8) in Vienna, Austria, drawing 650 participants.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
