Kishan Dholakia, PhD

May 30, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Professor at the University of St Andrews, Scotland
Honorary Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona, USA, at Chiba University, Japan and IIT, Madras, India

Shaped Light for the Future of Biomedical Imaging

Abstract
I will review recent progress in various aspects of biomedical imaging at St Andrews in my group that has used innovation in shaping light in both space and time. I will cover the topics of wavelength modulated Raman analysis and digital holographic microscopy which we have used to develop label-free hemograms and studies for detection of phenotypically resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis. The main part of my talk will cover the topic of light sheet imaging with propagation invariant light beams (Airy, Bessel) that offer excellent prospects for new studies in neuroscience, developmental biology and histopathology. I will conclude with a novel form of imaging where we use temporal focusing with single pixel detection for wide field multiphoton imaging at depth without the need to characterize the scattering media. The potential impact of these imaging modalities for disease detection and clinical implementation will be emphasized.
