Spectroscopy Editorial Advisory Board

Spectroscopy’s Editorial Advisory Board is a group of distinguished individuals assembled to help the publication fulfill its editorial mission to promote the effective use of spectroscopic technology as a practical research and measurement tool. With recognized expertise in a wide range of technique and application areas, board members perform a range of functions, such as reviewing manuscripts, suggesting authors and topics for coverage, and providing the editor with general direction and feedback. We are indebted to these scientists for their contributions to the publication and to the spectroscopy community as a whole.

The bulky bench-top NIR spectrometer is quietly being dismantled and rebuilt as a wafer-scale photonic chip, a self-calibrating algorithm, and a sensor small enough to ride in a shirt pocket. What once demanded a grating, a moving mirror, and a climate-controlled lab now fits inside a handheld module, a bioreactor probe, or a drone payload, and it increasingly figures out what it is looking at on its own.
Sizing Up the Nanoscale: Measuring Nanocluster Aerosol in Indoor Air
In the first part of a multi-part Q&A, Brandon Boor, the Dr. Margery E. Hoffman Associate Professor in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University, describes the instrumentation and methodology behind measuring nanoparticle size distributions at the nanocluster scale (1–3 nm) and outlines the technical challenges of acquiring reliable, real-time data at these dimensions.
