The Atomic Spectroscopy Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) is seeking nominations for the 2022 SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Student Awards. These awards will be given to undergraduate and graduate students who have excelled in the area of atomic spectroscopy.
Selected students will be required to present their work as an oral presentation at SciX 2022, which will be held in Greater Cincinnati, Kentucky, USA, October 2–7.
The 2022 SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Student Awards will come with travel assistance greater than $500 and a two-year SAS membership after graduation.
To apply or recommend a student, please submit the following materials:
- letter of recommendation from the student’s academic advisor
- the student’s current resume/CV
- a scientific abstract for the work he or she will present if selected.
These application documents should be emailed to Derrick Quarles and Ben Manard at
Students that submit an application for the award must be current SAS members or register at the time of submission. (Online student membership is $30 USD). Student memberships can be completed online by clicking

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.
The agreement gives North American customers a stocked, domestic source for InGaAs PIN photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes from the Scottish manufacturer.
