PhD student

My research involves light scattering in biological tissues and its possible applications for diagnosis. I use spectral imaging techniques to study the influence of sub-diffuse photons, which undergo only a few scattering events.

Research

Biomedical optics

Biomedical Optics studies the basic principles of interaction between light and biological tissues, cells and molecules and develops new technologies for use in basic research and clinical applications.

Biomedical Imaging and Spectroscopy; Clinical Instrument Translation (BISCIT)

We develop methods and instrumentation that advance spectroscopy, light transport modeling, and imaging of tissue; creating quantitative, non-invasive tools for the clinical detection, monitoring or treatment of skin diseases and injuries.

Depth Resolved Quantification of Fluorescence in Skin

Depth Resolved Quantitative Imaging of Tissue Ultra-Structure

Extracting more subtle, detailed information from in vivo tissue scattering to investigate cellular and extracellular structures in wound healing and skin cancers.
