The award is presented to an individual who has demonstrated advancements at a conference presented by FACSS in the field of applied Raman Spectroscopy, or who has demonstrated dedication to the advancement of the Raman spectroscopy program at a conference presented by FACSS or the ASTM Raman subcommittee.
Whitley’s career has focused on vibrational spectroscopy and product development and sales. He is the vice president of sales and business development at Horiba Scientific in Piscataway, New Jersey, where he has worked since 2000. In his current role, Whitley is responsible for marketing at Horiba, ensuring important applications and opportunities for product development are identified and properly assessed. His work at Horiba requires networking and collaboration across a wide range of customers and markets to accurately monitor market needs and opportunities.
Whitley received his PhD from the University of Durham in the United Kingdom. His professional memberships include the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, the Coblentz Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the UK Infrared and Raman Discussion Group.

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.
Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy Reveals Influence of Defects on 2D Semiconductor Devices
April 25th 2024A recent study used deep level transient spectroscopy to investigate the electrical response of defect filling and emission in monolayer metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-grown materials deposited on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible substrates.
Single Cell and Microplastic Analysis by ICP-MS with Automated Micro-Flow Sample Introduction
April 25th 2024Single cell ICP-MS (scICP-MS) is increasingly seen as a powerful and fast tool for the measurement of elements in individual cells, mainly due to the high sensitivity and selectivity of ICP-MS. Analysis is performed in the same way as single nanoparticle (spICP-MS) analysis, which has become a well-established technique for the analysis of nanoparticles and particles.
