We are excited to share our latest publication in ACS Omega , titled “I mproving Protein Quantification with SERS Superspectra and Machine Learning .”   Quantitative protein analysis using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has long been challenged by weak, orientation-dependent adsorption and highly heterogeneous spectral responses. Traditional peak-based calibration often fails because protein–surface interactions are nonlinear and substrate dependent. In this work, we introduce a...

Position Summary ( https://www.ugajobsearch.com/postings/468341 ) The University of Georgia (UGA) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join an interdisciplinary research program focused on AI-enabled surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for precision molecular measurement and biophysical discovery. This position is supported by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and is intended to recruit new postdoctoral talent to UGA. The postdoctoral scholar will conduct...

We are pleased to share that our forthcoming book, SmartIPL: Smartphone-Based Introductory Physics Labs , currently in press with SPIE Press, is being featured at Photonics West . The book introduces a modern and accessible approach to teaching experimental physics by transforming smartphones into powerful tools for hands-on laboratory learning. SmartIPL will present eight carefully designed laboratory modules aligned with introductory mechanics courses. Using everyday materials, smartphone...
