Sasic received his PhD from the University of Belgrade in Serbia. He worked at Kwansei-Gakuin University (Japan) on a variety of applications of vibrational spectroscopy, chemometrics, 2D correlation spectroscopy, and surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). He then worked at MIT, on a method for non-invasive analysis of glucose based on Raman spectroscopy and multivariate calibration. He joined Pfizer (and later Vertex) next, where he specialized in vibrational spectroscopy-based chemical imaging of pharmaceuticals, and on using NIR spectroscopy for monitoring of the blending of pharmaceutical materials. Sasic currently works at SSCI/AMRI using vibrational spectroscopy, chemical imaging, XRPD, and chemometrics for the analysis of pharmaceutical solid forms.
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.
