Sarah Trimpin, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at Wayne State University (WSU) (Detroit, Michigan) will receive the Pittsburgh Conference Achievement Award this morning at Pittcon 2013. The award, sponsored jointly by the Pittsburgh Conference and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, recognizes individuals who have outstanding achievements within 10 years after completion of their PhD.
Trimpin and her group at WSU have published 24 papers, a number of reviews, and book chapters related to research in mass spectrometry. She received BS and MS degrees from the University of Konstanz (Konstanz, Germany) and her PhD from the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research (Mainz, Germany). She held a joint postdoctoral position at Oregon State University (Corvallis, Oregon) and Oregon Health & Science University (Portland, Oregon) with Max Deinzer and Peter Spencer and was a research associate at Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana) with David Clemmer. She is the recipient of the ASMS Research Award, DuPont Young Professor Award, Eli Lilly Young Investigator Award in Analytical Chemistry, Schaap Faculty Scholar Award, NSF CAREER Award, and is a Waters Centers of Innovation Program Honoree.

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.
