Christopher Gabel
Professor Gabel’s research program is focused on the development and application of femtosecond laser surgery and optical neurophysiology to the study of the nervous system of the nematode worm C. elegans. Using tightly focused pulses from an ultrafast laser, we can ablate regions of biological tissue with submicron precision, making it possible to snip individual […]
Bennett Goldberg
Professor Emeritus Bennett Goldberg follows research interests in biological sensors, semiconductor IC optical failure analysis, and nanotubes and non-optics.
Lee Goldstein
Dr. Goldstein’s work is focused on understanding the role of abnormal protein aggregation in chronic degenerative disorders of aging. The work in his laboratory concentrates on Alzheimer’s disease, age-related cataracts, and other common diseases of aging that involve pathogenic protein aggregation. His team recently discovered the first evidence of Alzheimer’s disease-associated amyloid pathology outside the […]
Xue Han
Brain disorders represent the biggest unmet medical need, with many disorders being untreatable, and most treatments presenting serious side effects. Accordingly, we are discovering design principles for novel neuromodulation therapies. We invent and apply a variety of genetic, molecular, pharmacological, optical, and electrical tools to correct neural circuits that go awry within the brain. As […]
Wanzheng Hu
Hu’s research plan is to use pump-probe techniques to investigate, control and discover novel quantum phases, including 1) transient disentangling competing/coexisting orders in correlated electron systems; 2) ultrafast manipulating topological phases in Weyl semimetals; and 3) optically accessing and dynamical control low-dimensional materials. These research projects will lead to the development of new ultrafast spectroscopy […]
Allyn Hubbard
Dr. Hubbard’s research interests include auditory physiology, neurocomputing and biosensors, and VLSI design of smart senor chips.
Ajay Joshi
Dr. Joshi’s group focuses on developing novel architectures and circuits to design low-power, high-performance, and secure systems. The ICAS group is affiliated with Boston University Photonics Center, Boston University Center for Information & Systems Engineering, and Boston University Hariri Institute for Computing.
Masha Kamenetska
The Kamenetska research group develops and uses novel single molecule nano-manipulation, detection and spectroscopy techniques to understand and control how the structure of the intermolecular interface affects function in biological and man-made devices.
Kirit Karkare
Kirik Karkare is an experimental cosmologist. He builds telescopes to observe faint radiation in the millimeter-wave region, including the cosmic microwave background and distant galaxies, to learn about the Big Bang and fundamental physics in the early universe. Related photonics interest lays in utilizing OPF to fabricate sensitive superconducting photon detectors, as his cameras require […]
Catherine Klapperich
Dr. Klapperich’s research is focused on engineering medical devices for trans women’s and women’s health, use in low resource settings, and at the point of care. Current projects include on-body physiological monitoring, disposable microfluidic diagnostics and minimally instrumented devices to enable molecular testing. Her work includes diagnostics for CT-NG, HPV and other sexually transmitted infections.
