Evolving Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS): A SciX Interview with Jason Dwyer of the University of Rhode Island
During SciX 2024, which will be held from October 20–25, 2024 in Raleigh, North Carolina, various analytical scientists will be presented with awards for their career achievements. The American Electrophoresis Society (AES) will present Jason Dwyer of the University of Rhode Island with the Mid-Career Award, honoring his accomplishments thus far in his career.
Jason Dwyer is an associate professor of chemistry at the University of Rhode Island (URI) (1). His main research efforts often focus on nanopore technlogy in addition to spectroscopy. In preparation for SciX, we interviewed Dwyer about his latest research and his thoughts on receiving the Mid-Career Award.
To learn more about Dwyer, you can read our previous interview with him.

Joseph P. Smith Named 2024 Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy by Spectroscopy Magazine
September 25th 2024Joseph P. Smith, Director of Process R&D Enabling Technologies at Merck has been awarded the 2024 Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award, recognizing his significant contributions to the advancement of molecular spectroscopy in the pharmaceutical industry.
Nanometer-Scale Studies Using Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
February 8th 2013Volker Deckert, the winner of the 2013 Charles Mann Award, is advancing the use of tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to push the lateral resolution of vibrational spectroscopy well below the Abbe limit, to achieve single-molecule sensitivity. Because the tip can be moved with sub-nanometer precision, structural information with unmatched spatial resolution can be achieved without the need of specific labels.
Next-Gen Mineral Identification: Fusing LIBS and Raman Spectroscopy with Machine Learning
September 17th 2024A pioneering study integrates laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with Raman spectroscopy (RS) and applies machine learning (ML) to achieve exceptional accuracy in mineral identification. The combined approach not only leverages the strengths of both techniques but also enhances classification precision, achieving up to 98.4% accuracy.
