Biography

Bibek R. Samanta received his B.S.-M.S. degree in Chemistry from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research in Kolkata and his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He worked on investigating atmospherically relevant short-lived intermediates using gas-phase spectroscopy and ionization techniques. He joined the Data and Devices Group at Nokia Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ in 2020. He is currently working on leveraging techniques like optical coherence tomography for continuous non-invasive physiological sensing. He is also exploring areas to functionalize existing OCT technology to investigate biophysical and biochemical dynamics using spectroscopy. He also shares a broader interest in domains such as biochemical sensing, material sensing, LIDAR, and miniaturized devices.
