the quantized rotational states of molecules in the range of microwave radiation. While the technique can present a tremendous amount of molecular information that few spectroscopies can emulate, rotational spectroscopy is not commonly utilized by analytical
chemists. We assert that the greatest barriers to wider utilization are not experimental; rather, they are computational. We present our ongoing efforts towards the development of RotoCalc Monte Carlo, a method for the inverse mapping of rotational spectra
by sampling from a robust forward model. RotoCalc Monte Carlo seeks to derive important spectroscopic quantities from a rotational spectrum without molecule foreknowledge or spectral annotation, thereby building up rotational spectroscopy as a more viable
tool for general-purpose analytical chemistry.</span><br style="box-sizing: content-box; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666667px;">
