RIT researcher Mishkat Bhattacharya is building a theoretical framework to predict how nanoparticles made of graphene, silica and rare-earth compounds behave when suspended within the center of a laser beam.

The first Inclusive Excellence research fellowship was held this summer and paired seven undergraduate students in the College of Science with research mentors. The initiative is working to create a deeper understanding of diversity in the College of Science and at RIT.

Six RIT graduate programs are among the best in the nation, with several on the rise according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2019 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools.

Research conducted by Mishkat Bhattacharya, a theoretical physicist, is advancing a new kind of sensing technology that captures data with better precision than currently possible and promises cheaper, smaller and lighter sensor designs.
