Kanghyun Kim, a new PhD student in the lab, recently was awarded the prestigious John T. Chambers Fellowship from the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics (FIP) at Duke University - great job with all of your hard work!

Fourier ptychography review paper out!

We've just finished a comrehensive review paper on Fourier ptychography

Rotating X-ray beams!

During a very fun and interesting collaboration with Dr. Lars Loetgoring from the Advanced Research Center for Nanolithography and Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, we helped suggest some new ways to create and characterize X-ray beams that rotate as they...

Deep Image Prior for 3D imaging

Kevin's new paper is on using a "deep image prior" to improve the quality of 3D diffraction tomography reconstructions: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.05330.pdf This new use of an *untrained* deep convolutional neural network leads to surpringly high-quality...

Congratulations SafineAI!

SafineAI, a new start-up based on technology developed by the Computational Optics Lab, has been awarded the Microsoft Start-up Prize at Duke University. This prize, which includes over $100K of support from Microsoft services and other assistance, will...

Monthly update - September 2019

The Horstmeyer Lab is beginning work on two new grants! 1. A Duke Coulter Foundation award, aimed at creating a better microscope for rapid imaging cytopathology slides. 2. An NIH R01 BRAIN Initiative Award, in collaboration with Dr. Suhasa...

Monthly update - August 2019

The school year has now begun and Dr. Horstmeyer is busy teaching Machine Learning and Imaging - a class that aims to teach students how they can improve the performance of their deep learning algorithms by jointly optimizing their imaging systems for...

Monthly update - July 2019

A number of students have been busy in the lab this summer, making some great progress on their experiments. Here's a few highlights from what we've accomplished: 1. We have put the finishing touches on our lab's first official paper! Hopefully there...

Monthly update - June 2019

I'll try to post monthly updates from here on out. Here's what the Computational Optics Lab has been up to this June: - We gave two talks at the OSA Computational Optical Sensing and Imaging conference (e.g., see one paper here) - A book chapter of mine...

Welcome to Pavan!

We are happy to welcome Pavan Konda to our group. Pavan recieved his PhD and performed a short post-doc at the University of Glasgow, where he worked on a number of different optical experiments, including Fourier ptychography and miniaturized...

Congratulations to Eric, who was awarded a Pratt Fellowship!

Eric has been and will continue to work on a project titled, "Micro-camera design for neural imaging"

Welcome to Wenhui

Wenhui Liu is a new visiting PhD student from Tsinghua, who will be working on problems related to parallelized detection of scattered light.

Lab setup: it might not look like much, but this is where the magic happens!

We've got some optics tables in here and are working to fill this lab space with fun equipment. Stop by CIEMAS 2584A if you'd like to come check out what we're working on!

Arrived at Duke!

I have recently arrived at Duke University and have begun to setup my lab! My office is CIEMAS 2569 and my lab is in CIEMAS 2584, feel free to stop by and say hi at any time, and/or send me an email if you are interested in joining in on any of the new...
