Welcome to the bio-imaging & optical systems (BIOS) Research Lab in SeNSE, IIT Delhi
We are an interdisciplinary lab with a main focus on bio-imaging and optical instrumentation. Experimental optics forms the heart of our research. We develop novel optical microscopy, imaging, and sensing techniques. We strive to invent and turn our inventions into user-friendly instruments. We rely on optical, optomechanical, electrical, DIY electronics, and computational tools. Our lab's motto is "Invent, Build, Disseminate, Repeat."
