Ralph N. Adams Award
The Ralph N. Adams Award will be presented to J. Michael Ramsey, the Minnie N. Goldby Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Chair at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill, North Carolina) (UNC-CH).
Session 1890, Room 126A, 2:00 p.m.
The Ralph N. Adams Award will be presented to J. Michael Ramsey, the Minnie N. Goldby Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Chair at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill, North Carolina) (UNC-CH). The award, sponsored by the Pittsburgh Conference and the Friends of Ralph N. Adams, was established to honor an outstanding scientist who has advanced the field of bioanalytical chemistry through research, innovation, and education.
Ramsey is a faculty member in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences in the UNC-CH School of Medicine. He also is a member of the Institute of Advanced Materials, Nanoscience, and Technology and the Institute for Nanomedicine. His current research interests include microfabricated chemical instrumentation, micro- and nanofluidics, single molecule DNA sequencing, single cell assays, point-of-care clinical diagnostic devices, and highly miniaturized mass spectrometry. He was selected for this award because of his vital role in the development of the technologies of microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip, and their application to myriad problems in biomedicine.
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.
