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.

Remembering Engineering Pioneer Sir David McMurtry
December 16th 2024The world of engineering and innovation mourns the loss of a towering figure with the passing of Sir David McMurtry, CBE, RDI, FREng, FRS, CEng, FIMechE, co-founder and Non-Executive Director of Renishaw. Known for his brilliance, humility, and groundbreaking contributions to metrology and manufacturing, McMurtry leaves a legacy that has profoundly shaped modern engineering.
Combining SERS and Machine Learning to Advance Single-Cell Analysis
December 13th 2024Researchers from Stanford University have combined surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with machine learning (ML) to enable rapid, precise single-cell analysis, offering potentially transformative applications in diagnostics and personalized medicine.
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.
Raman Spectroscopy and Deep Learning Enhances Blended Vegetable Oil Authentication
