Spectroscopy magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Bernhard Lendl to its editorial advisory board.
Lendl heads the research division on environmental and process analytical chemistry at the Technische Universität Wien (TUW) in Wien, Austria, where he was appointed full professor of vibrational spectroscopy in 2016. He received his PhD in technical chemistry from TUW in 1996, where he was a research assistant from 1994–2001. He worked as a guest professor at the Universidad de Córdoba, in Spain. In 2008, he founded the TUW spin-off company QuantaRed Technologies GmbH.
Lendl’s research focuses on advancing analytical sciences through the development of novel analytical techniques and instrumentation based on infrared and Raman spectroscopy and their application to environmental and process analytical chemistry, material characterization, and bio-medical diagnostics. His scientific work is documented in more than 200 papers published in international journals, 12 book chapters, and several patents. He received the Robert Kellner Lecture DAC (EuCheMS) in 2015, the FACSS Innovation Award in 2011, the Dr. Wolfgang Houska Award (B&C Foundation) in 2008, the Christian Doppler Award (government of Salzburg) in 2004, and the Fritz Pregl Award (Austrian Academy of Sciences) in 2002.
In July 2015, Lendl organized the 8th International Conference on Advance Vibrational Spectroscopy (ICAVS-8) in Vienna, Austria, drawing 650 participants.
New Fluorescence Model Enhances Aflatoxin Detection in Vegetable Oils
March 12th 2025A research team from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics has developed a new analytical model using fluorescence spectroscopy and neural networks to improve the detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in vegetable oils. The model effectively restores AFB1’s intrinsic fluorescence by accounting for absorption and scattering interferences from oil matrices, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency for food safety testing.
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.
Advancing NIR and Imaging Spectroscopy in Food and Bioanalysis
March 11th 2025Our full-length interview with Huck covers more than just NIR spectroscopy in food and bio analysis. Spectroscopy sat down with Huck to also discuss current trends going on in spectroscopy, delving into what challenges spectroscopists face today and how they can solve these concerns.
The State of Forensic Science: Previewing an Upcoming AAFS Video Series
March 10th 2025Here, we provide a preview of our upcoming multi-day video series that will focus on recapping the American Academy of Forensic Sciences Conference, as well as documenting the current state of the forensic science industry.
