Sarah Trimpin, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at Wayne State University (WSU) (Detroit, Michigan) will receive the Pittsburgh Conference Achievement Award this morning at Pittcon 2013. The award, sponsored jointly by the Pittsburgh Conference and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, recognizes individuals who have outstanding achievements within 10 years after completion of their PhD.
Trimpin and her group at WSU have published 24 papers, a number of reviews, and book chapters related to research in mass spectrometry. She received BS and MS degrees from the University of Konstanz (Konstanz, Germany) and her PhD from the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research (Mainz, Germany). She held a joint postdoctoral position at Oregon State University (Corvallis, Oregon) and Oregon Health & Science University (Portland, Oregon) with Max Deinzer and Peter Spencer and was a research associate at Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana) with David Clemmer. She is the recipient of the ASMS Research Award, DuPont Young Professor Award, Eli Lilly Young Investigator Award in Analytical Chemistry, Schaap Faculty Scholar Award, NSF CAREER Award, and is a Waters Centers of Innovation Program Honoree.

The Big Review III: Molecular Vibration Theory
January 2nd 2025It has occurred to me that, in the 10+ years I have been writing about molecular vibrations, I have never introduced my readers to its basic theory! I will rectify that now. Some of this is new material, and some will be review. Either way, it is important that all this material be covered in one place.
Raman Microscopy for Characterizing Defects in SiC
January 2nd 2025Because there is a different Raman signature for each of the polymorphs as well as the contaminants, Raman microscopy is an ideal tool for analyzing the structure of these materials as well as identifying possible contaminants that would also interfere with performance.
ICP-MS Highlights: A Spectroscopy Year in Review
December 28th 2024Reflecting on 2024, the editors of Spectroscopy highlight some of the most notable articles and online content on inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).
