Congratulations to Associate Professor, Robert Baker on receiving the 2021 Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award, which is presented by Spectroscopy magazine. The award is normally presented at the Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, though the 2021 conference has been cancelled.

Spectroscopy launched this annual award in 2017 to recognize the achievements and aspirations of a talented young spectroscopist who has made strides early in his or her career toward the advancement of atomic spectroscopy techniques or applications. The winner must be within 10 years of receiving his or her highest academic degree.
