FOCUS:
Our lab focus is on the development of modern
optical instruments for bioengineering. We
combine new technologies in (1) optics
(grayscale lithography, laser printing,
free-form diamond turning, and molding), (2)
opto-mechanics (LIGA, DRIE components), (3)
electronics (custom detectors), (4) snapshot
imaging: spectrometry (ISS and IMS),
spectro-polarimetry and 3D volumetric OCT
imaging, and (5) software (dedicated DSPs, new
algorithms) to solve problems of medical
diagnosis and detection for both clinical and
remote environments. We are also interested in
advancing imaging techniques to enhance
performance and information content in acquired
images.
RESEARCH
PHILOSOPHY: Bioengineering research
is a challenging task that requires a constant
awareness of emerging technologies. These new
technologies enable measurement techniques or
methods not possible five or ten years ago. To
effectively advance engineering research, we
utilize the newest optical, electronic, and
fabrication technologies for use in biomedical
sensing.
