Student Research Awards to be Presented at EAS 2022
The Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) supports a Student Research Awards program to recognize students involved in research in the broad field of analytical chemistry. These awards have been expanded to include both graduate and undergraduate students. This year, there are four winners in each category.

The winners of the 2022 Undergraduate Student Research Award are Quang Minh (Harry) Dang of the University of Richmond (nominated by Prof. Michael Leopold); Olivia Dioli of North Carolina State University (nominated by Prof. David Muddiman); Matthew Giammar of The Ohio State University (nominated by Prof. Philip Grandinetti); and Naiara Munich of Barnard College (nominated by Prof. Lauren Marbella).
Nomination criteria for the awards include excellent grades, appraisals of how the students handle their investigations, their approach, and how they resolve problems and publicly disseminate their work. For more information on nominating a student for 2022, click here.
New Study Shows FT-MIR Spectroscopy Can Authenticate Parmigiano Reggiano Farming Practices
March 11th 2025A new study published in the Journal of Dairy Science demonstrates that FT-MIR spectroscopy can effectively authenticate farming practices and dairy systems in Parmigiano Reggiano production but has limited ability to verify animal welfare parameters.
Raman Spectroscopy Aflatoxin Detection Enhances Peanut Safety
March 11th 2025A research team from Jiangsu University has developed a Raman spectroscopy-based method to detect aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in peanuts with improved accuracy and efficiency. By employing a two-step hybrid strategy integrating backward interval partial least squares (BiPLS) and variable combination population analysis (VCPA), the new model significantly enhances the precision of AFB1 detection, providing a more reliable approach for food safety monitoring.
