In the Active and Reconfigurable Optics Laboratory, we harness optical properties of nanomaterials to obtain quantitative 3D information with high accuracy and specificity. This research influences the study, understanding, and diagnosis of diseases that affect the health of humanity in this century.
Our research has also applications in ultra-precision manufacturing industries, e.g., metrology of freeform optical elements, and additive manufacturing. Our research interest includes,
- Active optical systems
- Polarization-based quantitative phase imaging for microscopy
- Smart imaging for biological and industrial applications
- Optical properties of liquid crystals
- Wavefront shaping techniques
- Imaging through scattering media
- Optical metrology
