Lester W. Strock Award
The Lester W. Strock Award is given by the New England Section of the Society of Applied Spectroscopy in recognition of a selected publication of substantive research in/or application of analytical atomic spectrochemistry in the fields of earth science, life sciences, or stellar and cosmic sciences. More details on the award are available from the Society for Applied Spectroscopy.
2022 Recipient
Igor Gornushkin
Dr. Igor Gornushkin is a senior scientist at the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing in Berlin, Germany. His major expertise is in fundamental and applied spectroscopy including LIBS, emission, absorption, and fluorescence with a focus on modeling and simulation of laser induced plasma and development of spectroscopic methods for environmental, industrial, and laboratory applications.
He received his PhD from the University of Florida in 1997 where he worked until 2008, when accepted a position at BAM. Over the last two decades, he and his colleagues developed a comprehensive theoretical model of laser induced plasma, numerous methods for plasma diagnostics and LIBS-analyses. Recent works include application of spatial heterodyne spectrometry for LIBS and Raman qualitative and quantitative analyses, laser induced plasma for chemical vapor deposition and texturing materials, and optical spectroscopy for controlling metal 3D printing. The instrumental works are always being accompanied by theoretical modeling and numeric simulations of relevant processes.
As of now, Igor’s research activity has resulted in ca. 150 publications and several book chapters, which collected over 3500 citations, several patents, and copyrights. He is a member of the editorial board of Spectrochimica Acta part B and recipient of the 2001 Elsevier SAB best paper award. Over the years, Igor has been a mentor to many PhD students from USA, German, and other Universities.
