New York Society for Applied Spectroscopy Announces Speakers for Fall 2018 Meetings
The New York and New Jersey section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (NYSAS) has announced the speakers and schedule for its fall 2018 meetings.
The New York and New Jersey section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (NYSAS) has announced the speakers and schedule for its fall 2018 meetings.
September 13, 2018: John Wasylyk of Bristol-Myers Squibb, on the Development of 'Fit for Purpose' Near Infrared Spectroscopic Methods for Lyophilized Biopharmaceuticals to be held at Horiba Scientific, 20 Knightsbridge Road, Piscataway, New Jersey, from 5:15 to 8:00 pm.
October 2018: Christine Sayhoun, of Marc Pierce’s group at Rutgers University, on “A Comparison of Structural and Functional Optical Coherence Tomography Systems for Assessment of Hard Dental Tissues.”
November 2018: Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) Gold Medal Award Program honoring Professor Igor Lednev of the University of Albany, sponsored by the New York and New Jersey SAS and EAS (held in conjunction with EAS).
December 5, 2018:Curtis Marcott of Light Light Soluctions on “Perspectives on the Future of IR Spectroscopy: IR Beyond the Diffraction Limit at Submicron and Nanoscale Spatial Resolutions via Photothermal Techniques.” Marcott’s talk is part of a special speaker tour organized by the national SAS organization.
Due to the required lead times for publication, the New York SAS is providing this announcement before all of the details of the meetings have been arranged. The meeting details will be posted on the NYSAS website: www.nysas.org as soon as they become available. Please consult the website regularly for details, possible changes, and information about future meetings. Those planning to attend a meeting are requested to email the NYSAS secretary debperu@outlook.com beforehand so arrangements can be made for the expected number of people. Attendee names will be added to the e-mail list for future meeting announcements unless a request to opt out is provided.
Scientists Unveil Better Mixing Rule for Absorption Spectroscopy of Aerosols and Colloids
June 16th 2025Researchers have introduced a simple yet powerful new rule based on Rayleigh scattering theory that accurately links the absorption behavior of composite media, like aerosols or colloids, to the properties of their nanoparticle constituents.
Short Tutorial: Complex-Valued Chemometrics for Composition Analysis
June 16th 2025In this tutorial, Thomas G. Mayerhöfer and Jürgen Popp introduce complex-valued chemometrics as a more physically grounded alternative to traditional intensity-based spectroscopy measurement methods. By incorporating both the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index of a sample, this approach preserves phase information and improves linearity with sample analyte concentration. The result is more robust and interpretable multivariate models, especially in systems affected by nonlinear effects or strong solvent and analyte interactions.
