Among those attracted to BU by this emphasis on convergence was David Boas. He’s a pioneer in neurophotonics, which combines engineering, optics, imaging, and neuroscience to study the brain. An ENG professor of biomedical engineering, Boas builds systems that use light to watch the brain in action and map neural activity. In collaborations with researchers at BU […]
Steve Ramirez’s answers the question of whether the wildly popular AppleTV+ show’s “severance” procedure is actually possible.
The prestigious award will support Lynne Chantranupong’s work investigating how brain cells remain healthy over a lifetime, and how neurodegenerative diseases disrupt them
In this inaugural episode, the NPC podcast team explores the cutting-edge world of neurophotonics with professor and NPC director David Boas––exploring how light-based technologies transform neuroscience research.
“Congratulations to the 2025 class of Optica Fellows,” said Jim Kafka, 2025 Optica President. “These members are making important contributions to our society and field. We thank them for their dedication and are incredibly proud to celebrate their accomplishments.”
Among the 26 AI research projects, these Neurophotonics Center faculty were among several pioneering AI research forward.
President Biden awarded nearly 400 scientists and engineers the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers early in their careers.
The inductees this year represent high-profile leaders in academia, industry, and government, many of whom are prominent in their support of the optics and photonics community and mentorship of others.
