The Federation of Analytical Chemistry & Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS), of which the RSC is a member society, has announced the winner of the 2012 FACSS Innovation Award as Rohit Bhargava, from the University of Illinois, Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.
This is a juried prize awarded to the most innovative, creative, and outstanding work making its world debut at the FACSS-organized SciX conference. The winner is selected in a special oral session featuring five candidates selected from the many talks contributed to the program.
This year’s award was given for “Advancing Infrared Microscopy Instrumentation by Theory and Computation,” Rohit Bhargava, P. Scott Carney, Rohith Reddy, Kevin Yeh, Thomas van Dijk, Matthew Gelber, Matthew V. Schulmerich; University of Illinois, Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.
Dr Rohit Bhargava, recipient of the 2012 FACSS Innovation Award
Rohit Bhargava completed his PhD at Case Western Reserve University in 2000 after first completing his undergraduate degree at the Indian Institute of Technology. Since then he has worked at the UIUC Department of Bioengineering and is a full time faculty member with the Beckman Institute Bioimaging Science and Technology group. His research interests include infrared spectroscopy imaging, molecular imaging and cancer pathology research.
Take a look at a selection of papers published by Bhargava in Analyst. They will be free to read until December 24th.
