Session 1B: Symposium on “100 years of Raman Spectroscopy – Lab to Life”
Ultrafast Dynamics, Security Applications, and Impact of Artificial Intelligence
Recent advances in technology have enabled Raman scattering applications from experimentally observing time-dependent atomic movements during vibration to developing portable/tabletop spectrometers for medical diagnosis and security. In this talk, we will share our recent molecular dynamics studies using femtosecond time-dependent Raman spectroscopy. Further we will demonstrate the impact of artificial intelligence and Raman spectroscopy to accurately detect dangerous materials hidden in containers to help security forces and also medical diagnosis of diseases based on scattering measurements on body fluids.
