Jüergen Popp, a chair-holder of physical chemistry at the Friedrich-Schiller University Jena (Jena, Thuringia, Germany), was presented with the Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award on March 8 at Pittcon 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia. He has served as the Scientific Director of the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Jena, Thuringia, Germany) since 2006.
Popp’s research interests are in the areas of biophotonics and material sciences, in particular, the development and application of innovative Raman techniques for biomedical diagnostics as well as environmental and food analysis. He and his group focus on the development of non-invasive photonic micro-spectroscopic methods for an in vitro and in vivo detection and characterization of heme and heme degradation products (HHDPs) and HHDP-peptide interactions.
AI, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning in the Dynamic World of Spectroscopy
December 2nd 2024Over the past two years Spectroscopy Magazine has increased our coverage of artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), and machine learning (ML) and the mathematical approaches relevant to the AI topic. In this article we summarize AI coverage and provide the reference links for a series of selected articles specifically examining these subjects. The resources highlighted in this overview article include those from the Analytically Speaking podcasts, the Chemometrics in Spectroscopy column, and various feature articles and news stories published in Spectroscopy. Here, we provide active links to each of the full articles or podcasts resident on the Spectroscopy website.
Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy to Advance Tree-Level NSC Analysis
