My main research interests are in computational imaging and microscopy. Innovation in this area finds immediate applications in bio-medical research, which often operates right at the limit of current technology. To achieve this, I study how optics and algorithms can be designed as a whole. The resulting hybrid, computational, microscopes can for instance&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/research#eye\">overcome optical aberrations in the human eye<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/research#lightsheet\">enhance the field-of-view in light-sheet microscopy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the complexity of these systems increases, it also becomes more important to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/research#algorithm\">accurately calculate the light propagation in heterogeneous materials<\/a>&nbsp;such as biological tissue. I have therefore also an active interest in the development of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/research#algorithm\">efficient computational methods<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Vettenburg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/front-page.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-29","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":459,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29\/revisions\/459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/vettenburg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
