Taking Raman spectroscopy from the laser lab into the ‘real world

Abstract:

The confocal nature of Raman spectroscopy is largely the reason it is viewed as an enabling tool in analysis. In this lecture I will take a dive into using Raman spectroscopy combined with micro- and meso- fluidics to both understand flow patterns and show how flow systems can be used to catch highly reactivity species by freezing time. I will then move on to showing how Raman spectroscopy has relevance outside of the research lab and the challenges faced in real world applications.

Short biography:

Wesley Browne completed his PhD at Dublin City University (2002 Prof J.G. Vos) followed by postdocs at Queen’s University Belfast (Prof J. J. McGarvey) and the University of Groningen (Prof. B.L. Feringa). In 2007 he was awarded a VIDI research grant and 2011 and ERC Starting grant. He is a faculty member at the University of Groningen since 2008 and currently full professor. His research applies spectroscopy and electrochemistry to (bio)inorganic catalysis and materials science.
