Biophotonics and Biofluid Research Lab

Research positions for undergraduate or graduate students

 

My group focuses on the development of a non-invasive optical method for tomographic imaging of in vivo tissue structure and hemodynamics with high spatial resolution.  The technology, optical coherence tomography and optical Doppler tomography (OCT/ODT), is similar to ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound.  However, it uses near infrared optical waves instead of sound waves.  Consequently, the spatial resolution of OCT/ODT image is two orders of magnitude better than that of ultrasound imaging.  The exceptionally high spatial resolution of phase resolved OCT/ODT allows in vivo “optical biopsy” of tissue structure and physiology.  OCT/ODT is a new imaging modality that has a larger number of applications in biomedical research and clinical medicine. Experience on optical instrumentation, manufacturing of ultrasonic transducer, short pulse laser, OpenGL, Visual C++ is a plus, but not required.

 

Candidates should have a background in physics, engineering, or other closely related fields.  The student can work on any of the following research projects:

 

1.     Optical and medical system development (OCT endoscope),

2.     Flow dynamics in small channel of MEMS device,

3.     Imaging processing,

4.     In vitro and in vivo biomedical imaging.

 

Postdoctoral Fellow position

 

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in the area of Biomedical Engineering.  Research areas that are of particular interests include endoscope design, radiotherapy, manufacturing of ultrasonic transducer, and microfluidics.

 

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or other closely related areas. Experience on optical instrumentation, manufacturing of ultrasonic transducer, short pulse laser, OpenGL, Visual C++ is a plus, but not required.  The preferred candidate should possess the ability to work independently and in an interdisciplinary team setting.
