Summary
Ankit Raj is a postdoctoral researcher based in Tokyo with nine years of experience at the intersection of physical chemistry and vibrational spectroscopy, focusing on optical instrumentation, chemical testing, and advanced data analysis. He designs and controls bespoke instruments using LabVIEW and Python, and develops scientific data pipelines with IgorPro, GSL and Python on Linux. His profile blends hands-on experimental expertise with reproducible software practices—open-source code and publications are available via GitHub and ORCID—reflecting a commitment to transparent, reusable research tools. Trained with a PhD in Physical Chemistry, he has held postdoctoral positions at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and Gakushuin University, bringing both academic rigor and practical engineering to spectroscopy challenges. Ankit’s less obvious strength is his ability to bridge lab instrumentation and computational analysis, turning complex spectral data into actionable chemical insight.
