since as Assistant Professor (2005-2011), Associate Professor (2011-2012) and Professor (2012-). Rohit was the first assistant professor hired into the new Bioengineering department and played a key role in the development of its curriculum and activities. He later founded and serves as the coordinator of the Cancer Community@Illinois, a group dedicated to advancing cancer-related research and scholar- ship on campus. Research in the Bhargava laboratories focuses on fundamental theory and simulation for vibrational spectroscopic imaging, developing new instrumentation and developing chemical imaging for molecular pathology. Using 3D printing and engineered tumor models, recent research seeks to elucidate hetero

were in a completely new field, so they had to learn about that field and about thetechniques used in that field. For example: “…I learned several techniques that were instrumental techniques, … analysis techniques…” (M-ENG) “I changed fields when I started my postdoc. So I’ve had to learn a completely new set of experimental techniques and laboratory skills and those kinds of things that I didn’t have before.” (M-SCI)When describing the professional skills they learned, they mentioned improving theircommunication and writing skills, and teamwork/collaboration skills, as well as their abilities tomentor and work with students.Another benefit of a postdoc position was being able to focus on research and
