Translating Design into Application

Dr. Alan Ryder , School of Chemistry

Dr. Ryder’s current research interests focus of the development of novel spectroscopic methods for the physical and life sciences. There are two core research areas:

Fluorescence & Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy: Topics under investigation include the analysis of petroleum fluids, protein dynamics, biomedical polymers, Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM), and more recently Single Molecule Detection (SMD). We are also involved in developing fluorescence based methods as analytical tools for the biopharma industry.

Raman spectroscopy/Chemometrics/Process Analytical Technology (PAT): Developing Raman spectroscopy methods for the quantitative analysis of narcotics, pharmaceutical materials, complex and hazardous materials, and biomedical polymers. This includes large scale collaborations with Bristol-Myers Squibb (novel and rapid PAT methods forbiopharmaceutical process analysis) and a consortium of pharmaceutical manufacturers aspart of the recently funded SRC on solid state characterisation (www.ul.ie/sspc).
