“Diverse program of speakers”
“Really useful to see how current users utilise the abilities of their Renishaw instruments”
“Opportunity to network and find out about applications of Raman”
“Helpful to talk to other users and the Renishaw applications experts” Inside Raman UK seminar Discover more with inVia
Share your experience and discover new ideas as we bring together Raman users and experts from a diverse range of applications. Featuring presentations from prominent scientists on their research involving Raman spectroscopy, Inside Raman will appeal to anyone interested in learning about—or extending their understanding of—this technique.
Great networking
There will be plenty of opportunities for you to speak with colleagues from both academia and industry. You will also see demonstrations of Renishaw’s latest technology, capabilities and software.
Programme
The seminar takes place over two days and caters for people with all levels of Raman knowledge and experience, from students to postdocs and researchers. Inside Raman is a fantastic learning and networking opportunity. It includes:
• a variety of talks from prominent scientists • demonstrations by Renishaw’s applications team • a contributed poster session (on day one)
At the end of day one, all delegates are invited to join us for a relaxed dinner, at the Manchester Conference Centre. 8th and 9th April 2014 Manchester Conference Centre
Invited speakers
Inside Raman features presentations from prominent scientists. The following speakers have been confirmed and more will be added. You will also hear talks and see demonstrations from Renishaw’s applications experts.
Prof. Jeremy Baumberg, University of Cambridge Prof. Baumberg leads the NanoPhotonics Portfolio Centre at the University of Cambridge. His research interests include: ultrafast spectroscopy and nanophotonics; plasmonics and metamaterials; self- assembly and directed assembly of nanomaterials.
Dr. Cinzia Casiraghi, University of Manchester The Casiraghi group investigate the electronic, vibrational and optical properties of two- and one- dimensional materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes. Their research aims to exploit the huge innovation potential of these new materials in electronics, photonics, sensors and bioengineering. The main technique used to investigate the properties of these materials is Raman spectroscopy.
Dr. Karen Faulds, University of Strathclyde Dr. Karen Faulds research focuses on using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to create new approaches to bioanalysis for use in the life and clinical sciences.
Prof. Roy Goodacre, University of Manchester Prof. Roy Goodacre’s research interests are broadly within analytical biotechnology and systems biology. He has over 18 years experience of advanced data analysis applied to spectroscopic, mass spectrometric and metabolomics data, and over 11 years in vibrational spectroscopy.
Prof. Duncan Graham, University of Strathclyde Prof. Duncan Graham’s main focus is the creation of a range of functionalised metallic nanoparticles which can be used for a variety of different purposes which include the diagnosis of disease and also the treatment of disease.
Dr. Laurence Hardwick, University of Liverpool Dr. Hardwick’s research interests include: lithium-air and lithium-ion batteries, In situ spectro- electrochemical techniques (Raman and FTIR) and supercapacitors.
Prof. Frank Martin, Lancaster University Prof. Frank Martin’s research is directed towards characterising factors governing susceptibility of epithelial-cell populations to the DNA-damaging (genotoxic) events that occur during the initiation and promotion of cancer.
Dr. Ardian Morina, University of Leeds Using state-of-the-art surface analytical techniques, Dr. Ardian Morina studies the tribochemical processes occurring between oil additives and lubricated surfaces in vehicle engines and driveline components. The main aim of his tribology and tribochemistry research is to translate the understanding of lubricant/surface interface phenomena into numerical friction and wear models, able to predict the friction and wear performance.
Dr. Debdulal Roy, National Physical Laboratory Dr. Debdulal Roy’s research focuses on understanding structure-property relationships at the nanoscale using high resolution optical spectroscopy, force spectroscopy and electrical measurements especially for carbon nanostructures, organic nanostructures (electronic polymers) and biological nanostructures.
