Biophysics using Raman Spectroscopy
Dr. Aysegul Ergin, Boston University
(Biophysics, Host: Thomas)Room: 373 Tiernan
Time: Noon-1 pm with 11:30 am tea time

Abstract:

Raman spectroscopy is a technique that employs the scattering of afrequency-shifted optical signal. Although this phenomenon was first observed 80 years ago, in the last few decades with the development of modern instrumentation, the technique has found increased use in many medical, pharmaceutical, chemical and polymer companies. In this talk, some examples of common confocal Raman applications in medical/pharmaceutical industries will be briefly discussed. In addition to that, the experiments and the results of a biophysics/biomedical engineering project from NJIT to develop a non-invasive, compact confocal Raman instrument to determine the glucose concentration in blood using the Raman spectrum from the aqueous humour of a person's eye will be summarized.

Physics Students Win Provost's Showcase Awards

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

The Physics Department congratulates two of our physics students, who each took third place in NJIT's 4th Annual Provost's Showcase. Stephanie Milczarski won the third-place undergraduate award for her poster entitled "Characterization of a Device to Measure Eye Pressure Through the Eyelid."  This is work that she did with her advisor, Prof. Gordon Thomas of the Physics Department.

Sreeya Sreevatsa also won third place in the graduate category, for her poster
"Control of Surface Chemistry by Electronic Structures." with her ECE advisor Haim Grebel.
