The Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program in the Division of Chemistry supports work of Prof. Nicolo Omenetto and collaborators David Hahn and Benjamin Smith at the University of Florida for an International Collaboration in Chemistry involving Prof. Kay Niemax and Dr. Carmen Cecilia Garcia at the University of Dortmund Institute for Analytical Sciences, Dr. Igor Gornushkin at the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, and Prof. Ulrich Panne at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, to investigate the complex plasma-analyte interactions directly related to the ultimate analyte response and to the quality of the results provided by laser-ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry, inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. The research seeks to transform these analytical methods by solving problems associated with the plasma-analyte interface, thereby providing an essential step forward to support, for example, efforts in microanalysis, the nanosciences, novel materials development, and the biosciences. The research involves a combination of theoretical modeling and innovative experimental methods. This international collaborative research project is supported jointly by NSF and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The study is also supported by the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) at NSF.In addition to the scientific program, the project also functions to educate and train science and engineering students in the important technology areas of plasma science and advanced analytical schemes. The overall program directly impacts undergraduate and graduate students by increasing their involvement in an international learning environment strongly coupled to research activities, and to emerging technologies and real-world analytical applications. Through direct participation in the research, including summer research projects, independent study for undergraduate students, and teaching modules for the NSF/Howard Hughes Medical Institute Science for Life core laboratory, students will gain a broad education.

化学系的分析和表面化学项目支持佛罗里达大学的Nicolo Omenetto教授和合作者大卫哈恩和本杰明史密斯的工作，参与化学国际合作的有多特蒙德大学分析科学研究所的Kay Niemax教授和Carmen Cecilia Garcia博士，BAM联邦材料研究和测试研究所的Igor Gornushkin博士，和柏林洪堡大学的Ulrich Panne教授，研究与最终分析物响应直接相关的复杂等离子体-分析物相互作用，以及激光消融电感耦合等离子体质谱、电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱和激光诱导击穿光谱提供的结果质量。该研究旨在通过解决与等离子体-分析物界面相关的问题来改变这些分析方法，从而为支持例如微量分析，纳米科学，新材料开发和生物科学的努力提供必要的一步。 该研究涉及理论建模和创新的实验方法相结合。该国际合作研究项目由NSF和德国研究共同体（DFG）共同支持。 该研究还得到了NSF国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）的支持。除了科学计划外，该项目还在等离子体科学和先进分析方案的重要技术领域教育和培训理工科学生。 整个计划直接影响本科生和研究生，增加他们在国际学习环境中的参与，与研究活动，新兴技术和现实世界的分析应用密切相关。 通过直接参与研究，包括夏季研究项目，本科生独立学习，以及NSF/霍华德休斯医学研究所生命科学核心实验室的教学模块，学生将获得广泛的教育。
