Biophotonics Lab

Our lab focuses on the application of optical measurement technologies to biology. We use cutting-edge techniques such as optical coherence tomography to the effects of environment on plant seeds and seedlings and also on human skin. We are also exploring the possibility of building high power LED array - based user friendly PhotoAcoustic Imaging system (PAI). We also investigate cognitive processes in the brain with wearable devices in near real-life situations. We are testing methods for surveying microplastics in the sea and explore ways to apply to plant and artificial agriculture for speedy assessment.
