The University of North Florida received a $247,332 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant, titled "CUTTING EDGE CALIBRATION FOR THE DIRECT DETERMINATION OF TRACE ANALYTES USING LASER-INDUCED BREAKDOWN SPECTROSCOPY", supports a research project led by Professor Willis Jones and his students. The project aims to improve the determination of trace-level analytes using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), a versatile measurement technique capable of directly analyzing solids, liquids, and gases with minimal sample preparation. The researchers will develop novel, matrix-matched trace analyte calibration strategies to address the inherent "noisiness" and poor reproducibility of LIBS measurements, as well as the impact of sample matrix effects. The grant period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, and the research outcomes could lead to enhanced trace-level quantification capabilities across numerous scientific fields.
