My Work

The Tissue Optics and Microcirculation Imaging (TOMI) Lab uses a fundamental understanding of tissue optics and techniques including Laser Doppler, Laser Speckle, TiVi, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Photoacoustic Imaging to investigate and image tissue and the microcirculation.
We have developed techniques for structural and functional imaging of tissue to help understand many diseases. Most relevant techniques include the mapping of dynamic voxels in a static structure (cmOCT) which is mostly used for microcirculation imaging, nano-sensitive (nsOCT) and contributions to full-range and phase-sensitive OCT.
TOMI is a multidisciplinary multinational team of 14 members (4 female/10 male, currently) working on development of novel tissue and microcirculation imaging technologies. Members (pre-doctoral, postdoctoral fellows and Research associates) have backgrounds in medicine, tissue optics, optics, optical coherence tomography, biomedical engineering and electrical engineering.
