The following research faculty work at the Kilachand Center.
Xiaojun Cheng, PhD
Areas of Interest Brain imaging, speckle-based techniques, functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), microscopy. Research Areas Our research revolves around cutting-edge speckle-based optical techniques to measure both animal and human brain dynamics and function, particularly laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS). We are also working on other brain imaging modalities including […]
Jeroen Eyckmans, PhD
Biography: Prof. Eyckmans’s research program aims to understands the mechanical and biochemical mechanisms that drive tissue repair (scarring) versus tissue regeneration in response to injury. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining microfabrication, nanotechnology and molecular biology, his group develops novel biomimetic models to study wound closure and extracellular matrix remodeling of soft (skin, tendon, ligament) and […]
