The EurO-PTIR symposium brings together researchers from the field of vibrational spectroscopy to learn about the research and applications of multimodal O-PTIR, including simultaneous Raman and co-located Fluorescence microscopy across a broad range of research areas.

This interactive symposium will benefit anyone interested in advanced spectroscopy and multimodal imaging techniques and the new discoveries enabled by them. The program will include:

Plenary, invited and contributed talks
Posters with student prizes
Instrument demonstrations and opportunities to run samples
Tours of facilities
Conference dinner and social program

Symposium Themes

Life Sciences (cells, tissues, bacteria, protein aggregation etc)
Environmental sciences (microplastics/nanoplastics, aerosols, etc)
Biopharma/Pharma
Industrial/Semi Failure Analysis
Advanced Materials Science, Polymers and Photonics

Keynote speaker: Prof Ji-Xing Cheng, Boston University

We are delighted to announce that Professor Ji-Xin Cheng, Moustakas Professor of Photonics at Boston University, and a founder of photothermal infrared spectroscopy will be a keynote speaker, at this conference.

Title: Vibrational Photothermal Imaging - Principle, Instrumentation, and Applications

Professor Cheng is universally regarded as one of the world’s foremost experts in the field of vibrational spectroscopic imaging. He is a co-inventor of the O-PTIR (Optical Photothermal Infrared) spectroscopy technique pioneered by Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp. He is also a co-inventor of the CARS (Coherent Anti-stokes Raman scattering) microscope which he invented together with Professor Sunny Xie of Harvard University.
