Scattering in the Cloud

Clouds in the sky get their white colour from the scattering of light. This is a well-understood phenomenon, yet notoriously difficult to compute. Deep-tissue microscopy relies on controlling light scattering within biological tissue, so we take a particular interest in…

The optical memory effect and its dynamics.

In a successful collaboration with the group of Andrea di Falco, University of St Andrews, we studied how the optical memory effect is influenced by localized perturbations to the scattering medium. The “Nonlinear optical memory effect” work is just published…

Wavefront Shaping for Biomedical Imaging book available!

Together with K. Dholakia I authored a book chapter “Shaped Beams for Light Sheet Imaging and Optical Manipulation” in the book “Wavefront Shaping for Biomedical Imaging” (online ISBN: 9781316403938), published by Cambridge University Press: doi:10.1017 For those interested in wavefront…

Automated detection of neutropenia

Our work on automated detection of neutropenia is published in the American Journal for Hematology! The blood flow in the capillaries is imaged through the nail-fold skin. Machine learning techniques are applied to detect the location of the capillaries in…

Finally a fast algorithm to calculate the light field!

Biological samples, often the subject of optical microscopy, tend to be rather heterogeneous. This affects the propagation of the electromagnetic field of light. While the Maxwell’s laws underlying the propagation of electromagnetic waves in such tissue are well-understood; accurate numerical…

Deeper Raman spectroscopy

Our latest paper “Enhanced deep detection of Raman scattered light by wavefront shaping” is published: doi: 10.1364 (open access). Raman spectroscopy tends to expose the sample to high levels of radiation. This is aggravated when probing deeper areas of — scattering…
