Keynote lecture
Demetrios Anglos is a Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Crete (UoC) and Associated Researcher at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser, Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (IESL-FORTH), where he leads the Applied Spectroscopy Laboratory (since 2001). He holds a B.Sc. in Chemistry (1986) from the University of Athens, Greece and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry (1994) from Cornell University, U.S.A. The activities of his research group focus on a) the study of photophysics in molecules and novel nanomaterials with potential sensing applications, and b) the applications of laser spectroscopic techniques (LIF, LIBS, Raman spectroscopy) in the analysis of materials, with particular emphasis on the development of mobile, field-deployable instrumentation for the study of archaeological objects and works of art, supporting analytical campaigns in museums and archaeological sites.
Prof. Dr. Reinhard Noll studied physics at the Technical University of Darmstadt, where he completed his doctorate in 1984. He co-founded the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) in Aachen in 1985. There he headed the department of laser measurement technology and was later head of the division for measurement technology and EUV radiation sources as well as member of the institute’s management. He is a co-founder of ILT spin-off companies.
In 2012, he habilitated at RWTH Aachen University in the field of LIBS and received the venia legendi for “Laser Metrology for Inline Process Diagnostics.” Since 2022, he has been head of the R&D department at Laser Analytical Systems & Automation GmbH in Aachen. With 196 scientific publications, 5 books, and 40 patents, he has made a significant contribution to the development of laser measurement methods and their industrial application.
Patrick Mauchien has spent his entire career at the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). His early research focused on the development of time-resolved laser spectrometry for the analysis of trace uranium in solution. He subsequently worked on various trace laser analysis techniques, including thermal lens spectrometry, optogalvanic spectrometry, and atomic fluorescence spectrometry in different atomic sources such as laser-induced plasma, ICP plasma, or graphite furnace. He became head of the Analytical Laser Spectroscopy Group in 1987 and developed his expertise in LIBS. In 1993, he led a major European project for the development of microLIBS in different materials. Since 2001, he has been Deputy Head of the Physical Chemistry Department and participated as a LIBS expert in the development of NASA’s ChemCam instrument. He was a member of the scientific committee of the LIBS conferences and organized and chaired the EMSLIBS conference in 2007 in Paris. He retired in 2014.
Invited Speaker
Provisional program
The 13th EMSLIBS follows the tradition of precedent events, providing a diverse and exciting scientific program divided in thematic sessions, headed by a key note addressing, and including several invited speakers on topics such as: Fundamentals, Processing and Chemometrics, Instrumentation, novel approach and multimodal, Cultural heritage, Industry and Energy, Biology, Health and Agronomy, Environmental and geological sciences, Extreme Environments and nuclear applications. The program spans over 4 and a half days, and including some social events, in a relaxing environment, to discuss science surrounded by culture, tradition and gastronomy.
