Scattering Microscopy

Description: In situ and in vivo quantitative identification of tissue, biomaterials and cells with high-accuracy and high-throughput is a key task in biological and medical discovery. To establish powerful all-optical platforms that accomplish this task, we apply exotic optical coherent and scattering phenomena in disordered media as well as sophisticated numerical analyses. Examples for the physical phenomena and methods we employ in these research projects are laser speckle and multicanonical Monte-Carlo simulations of light propagation in tissue.

A unique aspect of some of our scattering microscopy approaches is their low cost, which in turn has the capacity to impact healthcare in limited-resource settings.

Research Level: Undergraduate/Graduate/Post-doctoral.

Skills*: Design and implementation of microscopy systems, signal/image processing, programming in Matlab/C and LabView, experience in working with tissue/ cells/proteins.

* Some of these requirements are loosen for undergraduate/graduate students.
