Hybrid Meeting at IMT Bucharest
March 21, 2023
14:30 – 14:45 (EET) Introduction Net4Air project
Carmen Moldovan, IMT Bucharest, Project coordinator
14:45 – 15:35 (EET) Raman Spectroscopy at Nanoscale
Mircea Modreanu, Tyndall National Institute-University College Cork
In this talk I will provide an overview of the Raman spectroscopy application for various application fields from microelectronics to life science. Following a general introduction to the Raman spectroscopy I will present nine different case studies where Raman spectroscopy is providing significant insights. Therefore I will provide an overview in this talk about Raman spectroscopy capabilities to investigate physical and chemical phenomena at nanoscale level. I will also discuss in details about special application such Surfaced Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) are expected to lead the next Raman spectroscopy evolution.

Short-bio: Mircea Modreanu joined Tyndall National Institute-University College Cork, Ireland currently working as Principal Investigator in the Micro & Nano Systems Centre.
Since 2002 he has organize 10 international conferences in the area of optical and X-ray metrology for advanced material and devices, eight in Europe and two in Japan. He is the Project Coordinator of European Innovation Council FETProactive project “Nanomaterials Enabling Smart Energy Harvesting For Next-Generation Internet-Of Things” (NANO-EH, www.nano- eh.eu) in response to the call FET Proactive call “Breakthrough zero-emissions energy generation for full decarbonization”. He was awarded the 7 EC research grants and 3 Irish research grants to date and beyond the NANO-EH project he is currently Tyndall’s PI in three other EC-funded research grants, including here Horizon Europe NET4Air project. He has co-authored over 170 per- review publications in ISI-ranked journals, he has given over 30 invited talks and he has three patent pending applications.
