The Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) Award for Outstanding Achievements was presented to Peter de Boves Harrington on Tuesday, November 19. Harrington gave a talk on “Chemometrics for the Masses: How to Painlessly Improve Your Science.”
Peter Harrington
Harrington received his PhD from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 1988. From 1987 to 1989 he created the DOS-based software platforms Resolve and Presager for identifying bacteria from their pyrolysis-mass spectra, while working for Kent Voorhees at the Colorado School of Mines. He joined the faculty of Ohio University (Athens, Ohio) in 1989. In 1992, he founded the Center for Intelligent Chemical Instrumentation. He has more than 200 publications, and has made more than 300 scientific presentations, including many plenary and keynote speeches around the world. In 2016, Harrington won the Ohio University College of Arts & Sciences Outstanding Faculty Research Award and the 2019 Eastern Analytical Symposium Award for Outstanding Achievement in Chemometrics. He is the Director of the Ohio University Center for Intelligent Chemical Instrumentation and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the North American Academy of Sciences. Harrington’s current research focuses on the development and coupling of artificial intelligence to chemotyping by spectrometric measurements of botanical medicines and foods.
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.
