Scientific Interests

Our research primary interests are in development of high-dimensional optical imaging systems, diffractive optics for high-speed sensing, as well as spatial-spectral holographic components and miniatured medical devices. Advances in those fields will lead to innovations of new optical systems that can better manipulate light for real-time and 3D imaging applications. For example, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Real-time three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems are necessary and will open the way for better understanding of the onset of cancer and biological tissue morphology as well as other clinical uses.
