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-cellular interactions in cancer progression. Rohit’s work has been

However, very little has focused on the issues faced byunderrepresented minorities who pursue a graduate degree or the need for effective mentoring ofpost-docs and faculty in engineering to attract and retain them to pursue academic careers.Women and ethnic minorities usually do not persist in academia because they frequently receivelower salaries, heavier teaching loads, less research support, and serve on more committees thantheir male counterparts. Although these disparities are more pronounced at the faculty level, thisleads to higher attrition rates at every level of career their development, starting at theundergraduate level.This paper will present our approach and preliminary results of a National
