Personal information

Ankit Raj, Ph. D.

During the course of graduate studies, I was trained as an experimentalist in spectroscopy, particularly vibrational spectroscopy. At the same time, I learned about numerical techniques relevant to quantum chemistry and data-analysis techniques for analyzing and understanding spectroscopic datasets. I also learned to organize and work with large structured-datasets, both with standalone files and databases.

I received Bachelors in Science (Chemistry Hons.) from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi in 2013, followed by integrated Masters-Doctoral degree from NYCU, Hsinchu in 2021 working on “Standardization of Raman spectroscopy and the determination of Raman cross-sections”. Presently, I am working at Gakushuin University on time-resolved spectroscopy.
