Applied Physics Fellow, Group Leader (Neuro-photonics Group) ANU College of Health and Medicine Australian National University Canberra, AU   Using Complex Light Patterns To Understand Brain Circuits We aim to understand how information is processed in cortical circuits of the mammalian brain.  To achieve this, we use complex light patterns to stimulate and record the […]

Department of Biomedical Engineering Oregon Health & Sciences University Portland, Oregon Visualizing Tumor Biology: From Single Molecules to Systems Cancer is a systems disease that arises from complex molecular abnormalities, whereby effective treatment requires insight into tumorigenesis at multiple levels – from individual molecules to whole cells and tumors. Research in our laboratory aims to […]

MacLean Professor of Engineering, Dartmouth Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Biomedical Optics, SPIE Press Imaging Medicine Abstract While the field of Medical Imaging is dominated by radiological devices, the field of Imaging Medicine today is dominated by optical devices.   Optical imaging is commonly used at the point-of-care, where patient and physician are in the same room together.  […]

UC Irvine Assoc. Professor Department of Chemical Engineering and Material Sciences Dynamic Materials Inspired By Cephalopods Abstract Cephalopods (squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish) have captivated the imagination of both the general public and scientists alike for more than a century due to their visually stunning camouflage displays, sophisticated nervous systems, and complex behavioral patterns. Given their […]

Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia University Using Light to Image at the Speed of Life Abstract Light is uniquely capable of probing and changing the electron and vibrational energy levels of molecules. As a result, light can be used to spectrally discern a tissue’s chemical composition, excite […]

Professor at the University of St Andrews, Scotland Honorary Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona, USA, at Chiba University, Japan and IIT, Madras, India Shaped Light for the Future of Biomedical Imaging Abstract I will review recent progress in various aspects of biomedical imaging at St Andrews in […]

Department of Biomedical Engineering Department of Radiology University of Michigan School of Medicine Light plus Sound: Photoacoustic Imaging and Treatment Abstract Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), also referred to as optoacoustic imaging, is an emerging biomedical imaging technology that is noninvasive, nonionizing, with high sensitivity, satisfactory imaging depth and good temporal and spatial resolution. Like conventional optical […]

Michael J. Fitzpatrick Professor of Engineering in the Edmund T. Pratt School of Engineering Professor of Ophthalmology, and Program Director for Biophotonics at the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics at Duke University New Optical Technologies for Real-Time Biomedical Imaging and Image-Guided Surgery Abstract Cutting edge optical biomedical imaging technologies adaptively control optical wavefronts and exploit spatial […]

Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University Problem-based research shortens the pathway to to clinical translation of light-based technologies Abstract Medicine is a problem rich environment where there is a critical need for new solutions that ease the life of the patient, the physician and the caregiving staff. For at least some of these problems, […]
