An active poster presentation with Anam, Peter and Jervee all presenting. Anam presented “Raman Spectroscopic analysis of Molar Teeth Samples in relation to Cord-Blood Vitamin D status.” This work examined vitamin D deficiency and elemental composition in molar teeth samples from participants with known 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (25-OHD) at birth. Vitamin D deficiency is associated […]

A busy afternoon at the  ICAVS with Khansa giving her talk on donor-acceptor dyes, then right after that Jervee giving a flash presentation on her work on plant-based proteins and their evaluation using spectroscopy and chemometrics, then Peter giving a flash presentation on his work on photocatalysts.  Jervee, Peter and Anam all presented their posters, […]

Khansa recently presented her work that the 13th International Conference on Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopy (ICAVS13) in Xiamen, China. Her talk was entitled “Probing Charge-Transfer and Vibrational Properties of Triphenylamine-Based Donor-Acceptor Compounds Using Raman Spectroscopy and DFT”.  In it she described the  use of Raman spectroscopy and DFT modeling to reveal the charge-transfer mechanisms and vibrational […]

While attending the 13th International Conference on Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopy (ICAVS13).  Jervee, Elkhansa, and Anam had the opportunity to be invited to try traditional Chinese tea with some of Xiamen University’s English students on the first day of ICAVS conference in China. The tea is a dark tea called Old Friend “老朋友”, which is a […]
