Photonic application for optical information technology and biomedical imaging

Light is used in a wide variety of applications including communications, information processing, data storage, energy, healthcare, medicine, and manufacturing. The group engages in fundamental and applied study on photonics, focusing on optics and image processing with the aim to harness light. Our lab focuses on the development and applications of optical microscopy techniques for biomedical imaging. We develop computational imaging systems such as active illumination microscopy, digital holographic microscopy, and lens-less imaging system through diffuse/scattering media. Our research also involves laser micromachining with ultrashort laser pulses such as material processing and micro structuring of optical materials. The group is engaged in interdisciplinary areas of education and research, spanning optics, photonics and imaging.
