Dr Alan G Marshall, kasha professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Florida State University, has been announced as plenary speaker for Pittcon 2010 on 28 February-5 March in Orlando, Florida.
Marshall is also a director of the Ion Cyclotron Resonance Program at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
He will deliver 'The Role of High-End Instrumentation' during the opening session on 1 March 2010 at Pittcon, which is to be held at the Orange County Convention Center.
His talk will focus on how high-end analytical instrumentation has advanced state-of-the art applications and stimulated higher performance of more widely available lower-end instrumentation.
Selected examples will draw from synchrotrons, lasers, mass spectrometry, electron and optical microscopy, NMR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and robots.
