Virtual SAS–Coblentz Event to Highlight Diverse Work in Vibrational Spectroscopy

As scientists monitor their fields for ongoing developments, an important aspect is monitoring the work of young scientists who are doing valuable work and who show promise for making important contributions in the future.
An upcoming online event will provide an excellent opportunity to assess the work of 20 current graduate students in vibrational spectroscopy from across the world. The free online seminar, which will be held on March 3 at 12:00 pm noon Eastern time, will be presented jointly by the Coblentz Society, along with the New York–New Jersey and New England sections of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS).
In the event, researchers will each have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their work and its significance. The idea behind this is to provide wide dissemination and exposure of work and stimulate discussion. This will be a one-hour virtual meeting followed by 30 minutes of open discussion.
The event will showcase developments at the leading edge of vibrational spectroscopy and will cover applications of vibrational spectroscopy over a wide range of disciplines.
In addition, the organizers hope that this type of presentation will increase researchers’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills, and their capacity to effectively explain a research topic in three minutes and in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.
The list of students scheduled to present on March 3, and the abstracts of their talks, will be posted on the NY–NJ SAS

The bulky bench-top NIR spectrometer is quietly being dismantled and rebuilt as a wafer-scale photonic chip, a self-calibrating algorithm, and a sensor small enough to ride in a shirt pocket. What once demanded a grating, a moving mirror, and a climate-controlled lab now fits inside a handheld module, a bioreactor probe, or a drone payload, and it increasingly figures out what it is looking at on its own.
In the first part of a multi-part Q&A, Brandon Boor, the Dr. Margery E. Hoffman Associate Professor in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University, describes the instrumentation and methodology behind measuring nanoparticle size distributions at the nanocluster scale (1–3 nm) and outlines the technical challenges of acquiring reliable, real-time data at these dimensions.
Reliability, dynamic measurements, artificial intelligence, and real-world applications are reshaping Raman spectroscopy – while Molecular Photonics points toward new translational frontiers.
In this “Tutorial Tuesday” clip, we explore one of the spectroscopic techniques that are used to characterize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
An upcoming presentation will explore how we can better understand and control nanoparticle morphology is critical for tuning material performance.
Jurgen Popp, Thomas Mayerhofer, and colleagues at Leibniz IPHT and Friedrich Schiller University Jena introduce the Personalized Optical Digital Twin (PODT), a Photonics21 contribution to Europe's Virtual Human Twin ecosystem that connects molecular photonics—Raman blood analysis, coherent Raman tissue imaging, and multimodal endomicroscopy—with longitudinal physiology and clinical data. Drawing on the published multicenter INTELLIGENCE trials, the authors argue that technical feasibility and clinical utility must be evaluated separately as the field moves toward Europe's FP10 research agenda.
