Seth earned a PhD in May 2020 from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Since then, he’s been a postdoc at the Beckman Institute at Illinois, working with the Rohit Bhargava team developing nanoscale IR imaging. At QCB, Seth will continue to work with the Bhargava team to apply this technology to subcellular studies. He has nine years of experience developing hardware, software, models, and controls for custom spectroscopic imaging systems and holds two US patents with Dr. Bhargava (with a third patent pending). His research focuses on developing advances in photothermal spectroscopic imaging technologies to improve data quality and imaging performance. He developed cantilever dynamic models, control theory and thermoelasticity models in Matlab to improve nanoscale mechanical and compositional imaging that predicts a 100x higher imaging speed with similar noise compared to current state-of-the-art.
