Edward I. Solomon Receives Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award
Edward I. Solomon, Stanford University’s Monroe E. Spaght Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Photon Science at SLAC, has won the 2017 Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award.
Edward I. Solomon, Stanford University’s Monroe E. Spaght Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Photon Science at SLAC, has won the 2017 Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award. He was presented with the award on Tuesday, March 7, at Pittcon 2017 in Chicago, Illinois.
Solomon received his PhD from Princeton University (Princeton, New Jersey) and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Ørsted Institute in Denmark and at Caltech (Pasadena, California). His research interests are in the areas of physical–inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry with emphasis on the application of a wide range of spectroscopic methods combined with QM calculations to elucidate the electronic structure of transition metal sites and its contribution to physical properties and reactivity.
Best of the Week: EAS Conference Coverage, IR Spectroscopy, Microplastics

FT-IR Analysis of pH and Xylitol Driven Conformational Changes of Ovalbumin–Amide VI Band Study
November 21st 2024This study uses Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to analyze how the globular protein ovalbumin's secondary structures transition under varying pH conditions in the presence of the cosolvent xylitol, highlighting the role of noncovalent interactions in these conformational changes.
