Meet Paul Cremer

Eureka moment: The many discoveries we make through serendipity, such as our observation that ortho-rhodamine and para-rhodamine dye behaviours differ as a function of pH; we used the former to build a biosensor platform.

The future: Vibrational spectroscopy has been dominated by nonlinear spectroscopies like SFG in recent years, but now Raman and infrared approaches have also demonstrated utility. Our ability to combine such techniques means the future looks bright – it’s an exciting time to be a vibrational spectroscopist!
