Facilities/Capabilities
The Laser Spectroscopy of Complex Systems is currently located in the Wanalancit Mills building Suite 110. Our lab is currently outfitted for fundamental and applied Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, UV-Vis transmission, FTIR and Raman Spectroscopy experiments. We possess expertise and interest in chemometric and multivariate modeling, application of neural networks to problems of spectroscopic interest, and developing solutions to problems in applied spectroscopy such as rapid peak identification and automated spectral continuum removal. We perform most of our calculations on Dell Precision Tower work stations though, when needed, we have access to high performance computation capabilities through the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center is currently located in the Wanalancit Mills building Suite 110. Our lab is currently outfitted for fundamental and applied Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy and Raman Spectroscopy experiments and analysis. Spectroscopically, we have several instruments that give us the capability to cover the UV-VIS-NIR regions between 250 and 900 nm in temporally/spatially averaged and resolved configurations. For the processing of biological and industrial samples we also own an Atom Trace SciTrace LIBS interaction chamber (pictured above) that allows us study these samples in an automated and fast fashion. We also have a devoted sample preparation room which allows us to work with biological, geological, and industrial samples. |
