NSF Young Investigator/Non-Destructive Chemical Analysis Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Numerical Methods of Analysis

这个国家科学基金会青年研究员项目是在分析和表面化学的一般领域，以及光谱学和数值分析的子领域。在这个为期五年的奖项任期内，Lodder教授和他的学生将利用近红外光谱分析、声学共振光谱分析和基于超级计算机的数值方法，在广泛的学科前沿进行无损分析。其中包括用于修复艺术品的地下颜料层的成像，快速识别消费产品篡改，开发用于近红外三维成像的非参数算法，以及开发用于生物流体的光学多组分无试剂分析方法。这个项目的目标的成功实现将推动非仪器密集型分析方法的发展，并显著增加我们广泛适用的分析方法的武器库。此外，NSF青年研究人员奖将大大帮助Lodder教授建立一个重要的和富有成效的研究和研究培训计划。

This National Science Foundation Young Investigator project is in the general area of analytical and surface chemistry and in the subfields of spectroscopy and numerical analysis. During the tenure of this five-year award, Professor Lodder and his students will utilize near infrared spectrometry, acoustic resonance spectrometry, and supercomputer-based numerical methods in carrying out nondestructive analyses across a broad front of disciplines. Included among these are imaging of subsurface paint layers for the restoration of art objects, rapid identification of consumer product tampering, development of nonparametric algorithms for near infrared three-dimensional imaging, and development of optical multicomponent reagent-free methods of analysis for biological fluids. %%% The successful attainment of the goals of this project should advance non-instrumentation intensive methods of analysis and add significantly to our arsenal of broadly applicable analytical protocols. Additionally, this NSF Young Investigator Award should significantly assist Professor Lodder in his establishing a vital and productive program of research and research training.
