  • About the lab:

    Biophotonics lab focus is on developing non-invasive tools for disease diagnosis based optical principles. This area is highly application oriented, at the same time deeply involved in the basic sciences. Using physics of light-tissue interaction, we try to extract the chemical composition and architecture of the target tissue to understand the biology of tissue transformation during the progression of diseases. We do simulations for optimal device design, instrumentation and experimentation both at research and clinical application levels. Most projects involve large scale data analysis and interpretation using machine learning / deep learning techniques. The focus is more on developing clinically viable non-invasive portable units for sensing the physiological conditions in a convenient way. For more details, please visit our website / publications.
