Spectroscopy magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Steven J. Ray to its editorial advisory board.
Ray received his PhD from Indiana University and is currently the Winkler Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the State University of New York at Buffalo (New York). He is the recipient of a 2011 R&D100 Award, the 2013 Ron Hites Award for the best manuscript in Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, the 2014 SAS Lester Strock Medal, the 2015 Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry “Best Paper” Award, and the 2016 Young Plasma Spectrochemist Award.
Ray currently serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, and the editorial advisory boards of Spectrochimica Acta, Part B and Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry. He is also the 2016–2017 governing board chairman of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS). His research interests involve novel aspects of analytical instrumentation, including distance-of-flight mass spectrometry, atomic spectroscopy, plasma spectrochemistry, and metallomics methodologies. He has published approximately 80 manuscripts, book chapters, and patents.
Best of the Week: What You Missed from Pittcon and AAFS
March 14th 2025Top articles published this week include a video interview on the role of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in food and bioanalysis, a recap of an important session at Pittcon, and a dynamic video that summarizes the highlights of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) Conference.
Raman Spectroscopy Aflatoxin Detection Enhances Peanut Safety
March 11th 2025A research team from Jiangsu University has developed a Raman spectroscopy-based method to detect aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in peanuts with improved accuracy and efficiency. By employing a two-step hybrid strategy integrating backward interval partial least squares (BiPLS) and variable combination population analysis (VCPA), the new model significantly enhances the precision of AFB1 detection, providing a more reliable approach for food safety monitoring.
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.
