About the WAMS 2021 Workshop /
WAMS 2021 is the second edition of the Workshop on Advanced Mass Spectrometry carried out in IQ-USP and organized by the MCPL laboratory. The main goal of this workshop is to bring reputed research specialists to discuss modern and relevant advanced techniques in mass spectrometry that are not widespread in the Brazilian research community. The first edition (WAMS 2018) was dedicated to Ion Spectroscopy and related techniques. In the current edition, we will explore new ion sources and sampling techniques for MS. For this reason, WAMS 2021 will discuss basic aspects of atmospheric pressure ionization (API) sources, their diverse implementations, mainly nanospray, paperspray and a series of applications on biomolecular and clinical applications. The workshop will be held online in English.
About the Lecturer /
Abraham Badu-Tawiah obtained his Ph.D. (2012) in Chemistry from Purdue University under the supervision of Graham Cooks. From 2012 to 2014, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University under the direction of George Whitesides. He joined The Ohio State University, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in July 2014 as an Assistant Professor. In June 2020, Dr. Badu-Tawiah was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. Dr. Badu-Tawiah is a recipient of 2021 Ohio State Early Career Innovator of the Year, 2020 Sloan Fellowship Award, 2019 NIH MIRA for New Investigators Award, 2018 ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Arthur F. Findeis Award, 2017 Eli Lilly Young Investigator Award in Analytical Chemistry, 2017 American Society for Mass Spectrometry Research Award, and 2016 Department of Energy Early Career Award. His current research is focused on the development of new mass spectrometry techniques for disease detection, and the studies of novel ion chemistry in charged micro-droplets.
