The Chemical Imaging and Structures Laboratory, headed by Professor Rohit Bhargava, focuses on both research and education in combining spectroscopic and structural information to understand biochemical processes and materials. Our activities include developing novel technologies for spectroscopic imaging, formulating advanced numerical processing methods, providing objective methods in histopathology and understanding polymer composites. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the work, the laboratories are located in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
