Artificial Intelligence in Spectroscopy: A SciX Interview with Ishan Barman
As a preview to SciX 2023, Spectroscopy magazine sat down with Ishan Barman of Johns Hopkins University to ask him about his thoughts on how artificial intelligence may impact spectroscopic research going forward.
Barman spoke with us before the SciX Conference in Sparks, Nevada, where he is set to give a talk titled, “From Spectroscopy to Solutions: Transformative Biophotonics in Disease Detection and Monitoring,” and accept The Coblentz Society Clara Craver Award as the 2023 recipient on Monday October 9, 2023, at 11:30 am in Sierra 5 at the Golden Nugget Casino in Sparks, Nevada.
Dr. Barman, an Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University, specializes in Mechanical Engineering, Oncology, and Radiology. He earned his undergraduate degree from IIT Kharagpur and a Ph.D. from MIT, where he pioneered Raman spectroscopy for transcutaneous blood analysis. His work established key techniques for in vivo spectroscopy, addressing issues like tissue turbidity and non-linear chemometric analysis. As a postdoc at MIT, he extended Raman and reflectance spectroscopy to guide breast biopsies and diagnose lesions with microcalcifications. Barman joined Johns Hopkins University in 2014, rising to the position of Associate Professor with tenure in 2019.
In this interview clip, Barman answers the following question:
- In your view, how can artificial intelligence (AI) be used effectively in spectroscopy, and where do you see the application of AI heading in this field?
This interview segment is the first of several conducted in conjunction to the SciX 2023 conference. You can see our latest conference coverage, including our additional video interviews conducted at SciX, at the following link: https://www.spectroscopyonline.com/conferences/scix
AI and Dual-Sensor Spectroscopy Supercharge Antibiotic Fermentation
June 30th 2025Researchers from Chinese universities have developed an AI-powered platform that combines near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy for real-time monitoring and control of antibiotic production, boosting efficiency by over 30%.
Toward a Generalizable Model of Diffuse Reflectance in Particulate Systems
June 30th 2025This tutorial examines the modeling of diffuse reflectance (DR) in complex particulate samples, such as powders and granular solids. Traditional theoretical frameworks like empirical absorbance, Kubelka-Munk, radiative transfer theory (RTT), and the Hapke model are presented in standard and matrix notation where applicable. Their advantages and limitations are highlighted, particularly for heterogeneous particle size distributions and real-world variations in the optical properties of particulate samples. Hybrid and emerging computational strategies, including Monte Carlo methods, full-wave numerical solvers, and machine learning (ML) models, are evaluated for their potential to produce more generalizable prediction models.
Combining AI and NIR Spectroscopy to Predict Resistant Starch (RS) Content in Rice
June 24th 2025A new study published in the journal Food Chemistry by lead authors Qian Zhao and Jun Huang from Zhejiang University of Science and Technology unveil a new data-driven framework for predicting resistant starch content in rice
New Spectroscopy Methods Target Counterfeit Oral Medication Syrups
June 23rd 2025Researchers at Georgia College and Purdue University have developed a fast, low-cost method using Raman and UV–visible spectroscopy combined with chemometric modeling to accurately screen and quantify active ingredients in over-the-counter oral syrups, helping to fight counterfeit medications.
