A Spectroscopist is a scientist who uses spectroscopy to study the composition and structure of matter. Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between radiation and matter, and spectroscopists use this interaction to identify and quantify the elements and molecules that make up a sample. Spectroscopists work in a variety of fields, including chemistry, physics, and biology, and they use spectroscopy to solve a wide range of problems, from identifying the composition of stars to diagnosing diseases.
