The core theme of biomedical optics/ photonics is minimally invasive optical diagnostics and therapeutics. This laboratory focuses on the development of optics-based technologies for clinical applications and biomedical research. Current research topic areas include:

  • Advanced spectroscopic technologies for tissue diagnosis
  • Noninvasive measurement of drug concentrations in tissue
  • Interstitial laser thermotherapy and photodynamic therapy
  • Computational methods for modeling optical transport in tissue
  • Optical interferometry for imaging nerve activation
