Big
Data and Small Data -- Invited & Contributed
There are both
challenges and opportunities in analyzing big and small data sets. In this full
day symposium, we are planning bring together both practitioners and experimenttalists
who have expertise in the analysis of big and small data sets. We hope to
facilitate a conversation among analytical chemists who analyze complex data
sets and/or rely on the analysis of complex data to meet their research needs.

Biosensing
of Proteins, Peptides, DNA, & RNA -- Invited & Contributed
Advances in
biosensing have enabled molecular detection and characterization at a whole new
level, which have in many ways markedly facilitated the understanding of
complex biomedical processes. The broad use of nanomaterials and introduction
of novel signaling schemes open new avenues for better performance and more
applications. The “biosensing” session consists of invited and contributing
speakers, and will focus on the latest development in the general area of
sensing/detection of biomolecules and related fields such as cell-based sensing
and interface construction/characterization.

XRF
– cutting edge elemental spectrometry -- Invited & Contributed
X-ray
fluorescence (XRF), is not the first elemental analysis method one thinks of
for characterization of materials. Yet XRF offers unique capabilities for
elemental measurements not feasible with other elemental analytical methods.
Whether the source be a synchrotron or laboratory X-ray tube based instrument,
XRF offers insights into the fundamental aspects of materials characterization
capable of probing nanometer scale features with high sensitivity. Organizer: George
