Gary Martin, who is a Senior Principal Scientist at Merck Research Laboratories in Rahway, New Jersey, has received the 2016 Award for Outstanding Achievements in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy from the Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS). The award was presented at a technical symposium at the 2016 EAS conference in Somerset, New Jersey, on November 14.
Martin’s career in NMR spectroscopy spans more than 45 years. He has written a widely used monograph on 2D NMR methods and has recently coedited two volumes devoted to the application of modern NMR methods in natural product structure elucidation.
Martin received his BS in Pharmacy from the University of Pittsburgh and his PhD in Medicinal Chemistry/Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Kentucky. Before moving to the pharmaceutical industry, he was a Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Houston (Texas), where he also served as the director of the university’s NMR facility. His ongoing research interests have focused on the development of new NMR methods for the molecular structure characterization of impurities and degradants of pharmaceuticals, drug metabolites, and natural products. He has explored new NMR probe technologies for the characterization of extremely small samples using heteronuclear 2D NMR methods.
Martin has published more than 275 papers and more than 35 invited reviews and chapters. He has delivered more than 500 seminars and lectures at national and international meetings.
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.
