Research interests

My main research interests are light source development and its integration into biomedical imaging systems as optical coherence tomography and nonlinear imaging modalities with the emphasis to transfer scientific knowledge to real world applications. In a multidisciplinary environment I act as a link between the scientists and the doctors and work on the optimization and adaptation of a multimodal molecular high resolution and high speed imaging platform to extract morphologic and molecular specific information from specimen.  The design of the novel complementary techniques allows the visualization of subtle changes on a molecular level even before morphological changes occur to detect changes in diseased tissue at an early stage.
