The SEAC –Young Investigators Award will be presented to Bo Zhang, of the University of Washington (UW) (Seattle, Washington) on Monday afternoon at Pittcon 2013. The award is presented annually by the Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry (West Lafayette, Indiana).
Zhang worked with Henry White of the University of Utah (Salt Lake City, Utah) and was awarded a PhD in 2006. He started his independent career at the UW in 2008 after completing his postdoctoral training with Andy Ewing. His research has been focused on developing and using nanoelectrodes to study electrocatalysis of single nanoparticles and to perform nanoscale imaging of neuronal communication. Zhang’s group has developed molecular-scale electrodes to study electrocatalytic properties of single nanoparticles and has also invented a fluorescence method to report electrochemical kinetics. Zhang was awarded an Alfred Sloan Fellowship in 2012.

LIBS Illuminates the Hidden Health Risks of Indoor Welding and Soldering
April 23rd 2025A new dual-spectroscopy approach reveals real-time pollution threats in indoor workspaces. Chinese researchers have pioneered the use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and aerosol mass spectrometry to uncover and monitor harmful heavy metal and dust emissions from soldering and welding in real-time. These complementary tools offer a fast, accurate means to evaluate air quality threats in industrial and indoor environments—where people spend most of their time.
