Beschreibungen

th The Who’s Who in Fluorescence 2009 is the 7 volume of the Who’s who series. The previous six volumes (2003 – 2008) have been very well received by the fluorescence community, with 1000’s of copies being distributed around the world, through conferences and workshops, as well as through internet book sites. In addition, the Institute of Fluorescence (http://theinstituteoffluorescence.com/) mailed 100’s of copies of the 2008 volume to contributors around the world. This new 2009 volume features some 419 entries from no fewer than 41 countries worldwide, as compared to 418 entries (38 different countries) in 2008 and 405 entries in the 2007 volume, respectively. We have received 29 new entries this year, and deleted 25 entries that were not updated by contributors from past years. In 2008, 129 AIM numbers were submitted as compared to 106 in 2007. This year the number has risen again to 136 AIM numbers submitted. This year we also see the introduction of the h-index number listing, a publication statistic provided by the Thompson’s ISI Web of Science. Some 42 contributors provided their h-numbers. In 2009 we also see a continued and strong company support, in light of the current world economic climate, which will enable us to further disseminate the volume in 2009– 2010. In this regard we especially thank the instrumentation companies for their continued support, where without their financial contributions, it is likely that the volume would not be the success it is today.

<P><STRONG>About the Editor</STRONG></P>
<P><EM>Dr. Chris D. Geddes Ph.D., Professor, is Director and Founder of the Institute of Fluorescence at the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, Medical Biotechnology Center in Baltimore, USA. He has a B.Sc. from Lancaster University in England and a Kodak funded Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry (fluorescence spectroscopy) from the University of Wales Swansea, UK. </EM></P>
<P><EM>Dr. Geddes is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Fluorescence, and both the Editor and Founding Editor-in-Chief of the Who’s Who in Fluorescence, Annual Reviews in Fluorescence, Annual Reviews in Plasmonics volumes and of "Plasmonics", Springer's latest Peer Reviewed Journal.&nbsp;&nbsp;</EM></P>
<P><EM>Dr. Geddes is also Executive Director of the Society of Fluorescence and Co-Editor of the popular series Topics in Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Dr. Geddes has published approximately 175 articles and 15 books / volumes on the principles and applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Plasmonics. </EM></P>
<P><EM>The Institute of Fluorescence features two main laboratories, which underpin Dr. Geddes’s research aspirations, namely; The Laboratory of Advanced Medical Plasmonics and the Laboratory for Advanced Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Both laboratories are poised to advanced our knowledge of fluorescence / plasmonics and their applications. Current research is based on developing a fundamental understanding of metal-enhanced fluorescence, a term introduced by Dr. Geddes in 2002, with outcomes focused at developing a unified plasmon-fluorophore description. Other research involves developing microwave based plasmonic devices for ultra fast and ultra sensitive sensing platforms, such as for the detection of bio-warfare and clinical agents, e.g. Anthrax and Cardiac Markers.</EM> http://theinstituteoffluorescence.com/</P>
<P>About the Who's Who in Fluorescence Annual Volume</P>
<P><EM>The Who’s Who in Fluorescence Annual Volume was founded by Dr. Chris D. Geddes, Professor and Director of the Institute of Fluorescence at the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, Baltimore, Maryland USA, in 2003. The Who’s Who in Fluorescence is a comprehensive directory of workers from Industry, Governments and Academia alike, who employ Fluorescence methodologies in their everyday working lives. The invitation-only volume features a brief description of a contributor’s specialty or research, keyword listings, contact details and representative publications. A "Companies in Fluorescence" section can also be found at the back of the volume and features company adverts, product information and contact details. The origins of the volume can be traced back to Professor Geddes adopting the editorialship of the Journal of Fluorescence in 2001. At that time, the Journal of Fluorescence was still taking paper-based manuscript submissions, with editorial decisions sent via paper mail or e-mail. In the absence of any global directory of fluorescence expertise, workers and company details for peer-review purposes, Dr. Geddes created simple spreadsheets with workers details and fluorescence specialty keyword listings etc. In late 2002 it was thought that other workers in fluorescence might also benefit from a global listing. Subsequently, the first volume was published by Kluwer Academic / Plenum Press in January 2003. The first volume featured some 312 fluorescence workers from around the world. Today, the volume now published by Springer, has established itself in the fluorescence community as the key directory for fluorescence workers worldwide, with thousands of copies disseminated annually at conferences, through internet book stores and by the Institute of Fluorescence, home to the Who’s Who in Fluorescence Annual Volume.</EM> http://wwifonline.com/</P>
