Research background
Since my Master degree in July 2012 I have been doing research in the area of Biomedical Optics, specifically, in imaging of biological media.
I am currently working on my Ph.D. in this area, towards the development of an optical mammographic system for clinical use in animals and humans. The aim of my work is to develop techniques and algorithms for detection and characterization of lesions using both, intrinsic (hemoglobin) and extrinsic (fluorescent dyes like Indocyanine Green, ICG) contrast agents. I am focused in the CW, wide field approach, which, in the last years, has regained interest since raw data for a whole picture is acquired in a single exposure using a CCD camera.
Part of my work has been done as a Guest Researcher in the Physikalisch
Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) Berlin, Germany.
