A competitive job market requires candidates to differentiate themselves in order to secure employment. Hear from experts in the field about the skills spectroscopists need to have to succeed in this ever-changing job market.

Dmitry Kurouski is an associate professor of biochemistry and biophysics, and biomedical engineering at Texas A&M University. Kurouski’s work has focused on pioneering the development of innovative Raman spectroscopy–based sensing approaches that can be used for non-invasive, non-destructive analysis, including confirmatory diagnostics of biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. His findings demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy can be used for identification of viral, fungal, and bacterial diseases in a large number of plant species. He has also developed Raman methods for diagnostics of plant deficiencies in micro and macro element composition; his work has also demonstrated the potential for Raman spectroscopy–based phenotyping of plants.
