Santosh Paidi and Saumya Tiwari Receive SAS Barbara Stull Graduate Student Awards at SciX
November 1st 2019The Society for Applied Spectroscopy’s (SAS) Barbara Stull Graduate Student Award was presented to two students this year: Santosh Paidi of Johns Hopkins University and Saumya Tiwari of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.
Market Profile: Raman Spectroscopy
November 1st 2019Nowadays, Raman spectroscopy can be applied to many fields where non-destructive chemical analysis and microscopic imaging needs to be provided rapidly. It can analyze many states of matter such as solid, liquid, gases, and even gels and slurries. It is used in a variety of applications such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, material, semiconductor, and life science industries and research.
