Introduction to Optical Technologies and Biomedical Imaging

Spring | Monday & Wednesday 9:35 AM–10:50 AM | IF 4012

Syllabus [click to see details]: In this course, you will learn the basics of the behavior of light and understand the fascinating and powerful technologies you can create with sophisticated light manipulation techniques.

Topics include: (i) Basics of geometrical and wave optics (ii) Overview of various methods to analyze optical systems (iii) A high-level understanding of the electromagnetic phenomena underlying various nanophotonic devices such as optical biosensors.

This will be an interactive course with ample discussions in class. Grading will be based on class participation, project presentations, short write-ups, and in-class pop quizzes. If class size permits, additional lab tours, hands-on activities and mini hackathons will be incorporated.

This course is especially recommended for students in Engineering, Photonics, Neuro-science, Nano-science, Optometry, Biomedical imaging.

Translational Biomedical Engineering

Fall

Syllabus: The frontiers of biomedical technologies is at the intersection of cutting-edge biophotonics, extreme laser physics, light science, and precision engineering. To ensure that ingenious ideas in the lab generate practical benefits for the larger human population, it is important to build a technologies that could be feasibly translated to real world use in a safe and well-regulated manner.

Students in this course will learn about the technical design and development process for a wide range of imaging and sensing technologies relevant to biomedical research. In the process, students will be introduced to certain design framework that will facilitate the translation of the technologies to external target users (e.g., doctors, clinic staff, patients, sportsman).
