David Clases is an associate professor at the University of Graz in Vienna, Austria. Clases’ research spans fundamental and applied aspects of inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), from laser ablation-ICP-MS to ICP-time of flight MS (ICP-TOFMS) and single-particle analysis.
Santiago Marin is a graduate student at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Fiona Xi Xu received her Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Washington under the advisement of Dan Fu. Her graduate research focused on quantitative analysis of protein and lipid metabolism in cells and tissues using advanced vibrational spectroscopy techniques, particularly stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy. She is currently a life science applications scientist at HORIBA, where she specializes in Raman spectroscopy for life science and biopharmaceutical applications, utilizing platforms ranging from confocal Raman microscopes to process and high-throughput Raman instruments.●
Spiros Pergantis is a Full Professor at the University of Crete. His research interests include the development of advanced analytical chemistry techniques for determining metal species (As, Hg, Se, Sb, Sn, Cr), including metal-containing biomolecules, as well as nanoparticles in environmental and biological matrices, and also for investigating their interaction(s) with biomolecules.
Michael Coppola serves as a product manager at Milestone Inc, directing product strategy, development, and market growth initiatives. He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and physics from Central Connecticut State University. Before joining Milestone, Coppola worked in the polymer chemistry sector as a product manager, where he led efforts to commercialize nanotechnology-based additives for the paint and plastics industries. He is a named inventor on more than 60 patents and publications related to materials science, chemical formulation, and applied analytical technologies.
