Gajendra joined the group in the winter of 2012. Dr. Gajendra Pratap Singh has extensive experience in designing and building Raman spectroscopy based systems for in‐vivo applications. He obtained his PhD from the Institute of Photonic Sciences, Barcelona, Spain where his research was focused on the optical trapping of single living cells and studying their biochemical activity in real time using Raman microspectroscopy, Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and Surface Enhanced Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (SERRS). During his postdoc at the G.R.Harrison Spectroscopy Laboratory, MIT he worked on the applications of Raman spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for the non-invasive detection of glucose in humans and animal models.
CurrentlyDr. Singh is focused on the applications of lasers and spectroscopy to microbioreactors. In particular, Dr. Singh is developing novel microfluidic devices that can simulate large bioreactors and can be effective in real time prediction of living cell behavior.
