معرفی
Andrew Terentis is a Professor and the Department Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida Atlantic University. His research integrates Raman spectroscopy, computational methods, and machine learning to study biological systems, with a focus on peptide and nucleic acid structures, cell interactions, and skin cancer diagnosis.
Education:
- Ph.D. from the University of Sydney
Research Interests: Dr. Terentis's work centers on the application of Raman spectroscopy for characterizing biomolecular structures and interactions. His group employs computational studies to analyze peptide and oligonucleotide conformations, and has pioneered the use of machine learning with Raman data for skin cancer classification. Additional interests include enzyme kinetics and mechanisms, particularly in methionine metabolism, and the development of pedagogical methods in Physical Chemistry.
Publication Trends: Over the past decade, Terentis's research has evolved from fundamental studies of biomolecular structures (e.g., G-quadruplex DNA) to translational applications in oncology. Recent publications highlight a strong emphasis on integrating Raman spectroscopy with deep learning for cancer tissue classification, demonstrating a shift toward interdisciplinary biomedical engineering approaches.
