Research Interests:

Biomicroscopy Lab

My research group is the Biomicroscopy Lab. Here, we develop and apply of novel optical microscopy techniques for biological imaging. These developments and applications include, fast volumetric imaging, active illumination microscopy, imaging through complex media and a single optical fiber, oblique back-illumination microscopy, and partitioned aperture wavefront imaging.
