“My greatest wish is not for technological
advances, but rather that scientists get more
freedom in research – and less nannying
by the state, administration, and interest
groups. I believe the scope to follow our own
ideas would do much to open new fields of
research and accelerate progress in science.
Focusing on analytical spectroscopy,
I would like to see more work using
laser spectroscopy. Tunable lasers
showed their tremendous capabilities
in basic atomic and molecular physics
more than 30 years ago, but remain
underused in analytical spectroscopy.
Extremely high detection powers have
been demonstrated in absorption as well
as fluorescence measurements; moreover,
laser spectroscopy offers the possibility
to apply sub-Doppler high-resolution
spectroscopy. The use of different
Doppler-free detection techniques would
not only be of interest for high-precision
isotope ratio measurements of atoms and
molecules, but also for the application of
isotope dilution for matrix-independent
accurate concentration measurements.”

“I would like to see further
and easier data integration. It
has become possible to rapidly
generate large and detailed
sets of molecular data with
a variety of ‘spectro’ tools
on identical samples.
Yet, most analytical
scientists seem to
struggle with data
fusion and lack the
ability to turn data
into reliable answers to
their analytical problems.
New innovative and
integrative software
tools are badly needed.”
