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.
Scientists Unveil Better Mixing Rule for Absorption Spectroscopy of Aerosols and Colloids
June 16th 2025Researchers have introduced a simple yet powerful new rule based on Rayleigh scattering theory that accurately links the absorption behavior of composite media, like aerosols or colloids, to the properties of their nanoparticle constituents.
Short Tutorial: Complex-Valued Chemometrics for Composition Analysis
June 16th 2025In this tutorial, Thomas G. Mayerhöfer and Jürgen Popp introduce complex-valued chemometrics as a more physically grounded alternative to traditional intensity-based spectroscopy measurement methods. By incorporating both the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index of a sample, this approach preserves phase information and improves linearity with sample analyte concentration. The result is more robust and interpretable multivariate models, especially in systems affected by nonlinear effects or strong solvent and analyte interactions.
