Keith was the keynote speaker at the 21st Raman Imaging Symposium will take place September 29 to October 1st, 2025 in Ulm, Germany.  He presented the group’s work on a variety of topics.  The talk entitled “Coupling Raman microscopy and chemometrics in the study of complex materials”  included work on eletrospun fibres, serpinite rocks,  harakeke […]

Keith attended The Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) Symposium on “Physics for Sustainability: Health, Energy, and Environment (SPHERE)” at Faculty hall , IISc, Bengaluru  from October 16-18, 2025.  This occured after the PCCP Editorial board meeting and the symposium covered areas such as nanoparticles, biological systems, computational and theoretical chemistry and spectroscopy.  Keith’s talk entitled […]

Keith attended the PCCP editorial board meeting in Bengaluru (Bangalore) India.  The meeting covered off a number of new opportunities the journal seeks to take advantage of in the future.  There was also a good discussion around the handling of papers and some work on rewording the editorial templates that are used to communicate with […]

Congrats to Keith on his contribution, with Chinese researchers led by Prof Guiyin Xu, that looks at battery technology.  The paper entitled “Electron displacement polarization of high-dielectric constant fiber separators enhances interface stability,” is published in Nature Communications.  It uses a variety of methods to understand the processes occurring in lithium ion batteries finding that […]

Congrats to Jervee.  She recently contributed to a paper in Photonics Research that used lithium niobate (LB4) to generate stimulated Raman scattering across a range of wavelengths.  A millimeter-sized LB4 whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonator with a record quality factor was fabricated using single-point diamond cutting. Pumped with about 10 mW at 517 nm, it […]
