Description: We study cerebral well-being using non-invasive, transcranial, diffuse optical technologies that we develop. We apply them in adults, children and newborns who have suffered from conditions
Projects
Physics of photon migration through tissues & algorithms
Description: The modeling of the physics of photon propagation through tissues is of utmost importance for the quantification of the diffuse optical signals. These models are then utilized
Multi-spectral reflectance and laser speckle imaging
Description:We develop laser speckle contrast imaging and the imaging of intrinsic optical signals in a single portable instrument to cerebral blood flow and metabolism in rats and mice. We study
Translational oncology research in animal models
Description: We study tumor patho-physiology as it is altered due to various experimental therapies. We develop dedicated optical platforms that can be used in small animal imaging and monitoring
Photoacoustic microscopy for industrial and translational research
Description: Working together with the ICFO plasmon nano-optics group (PI: Romain Quidant) we are developing photoacoustic microscopy techniques for industrial applications and translational oncology
Prototype diffuse optical devices
Description: We develop state-of-the-art biomedical instrumentation for translational and clinical research. These range from portable, hybrid systems that combine diffuse correlation spectroscopy
Depth resolved cerebral blood flow imaging
Description:The aim of this project is to image the whole mouse brain hemodynamics with hundred microns resolution using laser speckle contrast technique. We are exploring approaches for depth selectivity
Development of diffuse optical tools for enhancing proficiency and reducing costs of the dairy industry
Description:This is an industrial project carried in collaboration with IRTA and Tecnozoo. Our goal is to introduce diffuse optical tools into the dairy industry to reduce the economic and environmental
