Short Biography of Jerome Mertz

Jerome Mertz received an AB in physics from Princeton University in 1984, and a PhD in quantum optics from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Paris VI in 1991. Following postdoctoral studies at the University of Konstanz, Germany (Jürgen Mlynek group) and at Cornell University (Watt Webb group), he obtained a lecturer position at the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielle in Paris, where he became a CNRS research director. He is currently an associate professor of Biomedical Engineering at Boston University. His interests are in the development and applications of novel optical microscopy techniques for biological imaging. Areas of research include two-photon microscopy, second-harmonic generation microscopy, phase-contrast microscopy, speckle illumination  microscopy, optical coherence tomography, etc..
