Rohit Bhargava joins Spectroscopy’s Editorial Advisory Board
Spectroscopy magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Rohit Bhargava to its editorial advisory board.
Spectroscopy magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Rohit Bhargava to its editorial advisory board.
Bhargava joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2005 as an assistant professor, and was promoted to associate professor in 2011. He became a full professor in 2012.
Research in the Bhargava laboratories focuses on theory and simulation for spectroscopic imaging, developing new instrumentation, and making chemical imaging practical for digital molecular pathology in cancer. Using 3D printing and engineered tumor models, Bhargava’s recent research seeks to explain the biology and physical aspects of hetero-cellular interactions in cancer progression.
Bhargava received dual B. Tech. degrees (in Chemical Engineering and Polymer Science and Engineering) from the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi in 1996. His doctoral thesis work at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio focused on polymer spectroscopy and infrared imaging.
Among Bhargava’s recent national honors for spectroscopy research are the Meggers Award (from the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, 2014), the Craver Award (from the Coblentz Society, 2013), and the FACSS Innovation Award (2012). He then worked as a research fellow at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from 2000 to 2005, where he developed infrared imaging technology and its applications in cancer pathology.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy Reveals Influence of Defects on 2D Semiconductor Devices
April 25th 2024A recent study used deep level transient spectroscopy to investigate the electrical response of defect filling and emission in monolayer metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-grown materials deposited on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible substrates.
Single Cell and Microplastic Analysis by ICP-MS with Automated Micro-Flow Sample Introduction
April 25th 2024Single cell ICP-MS (scICP-MS) is increasingly seen as a powerful and fast tool for the measurement of elements in individual cells, mainly due to the high sensitivity and selectivity of ICP-MS. Analysis is performed in the same way as single nanoparticle (spICP-MS) analysis, which has become a well-established technique for the analysis of nanoparticles and particles.
