Einstein Foundation article and video

The Einstein Foundation Berlin just wroteup a short piece about me and my research. They also made a video about some of my work at the intersection of optics and neuroscience.

New paper about on-chip holographic video

We have a new method that can take really fast videos of small micro-organisms that swim around on top of a sensor. It is based on a modified phase retrieval algorithm. You can find the paper here.

Invited talk at 2016 Lasers Congress

I recently gave an invited talk at the Lasers for Sensing and Free-space Communication conference in Boston, which included a very interesting mix of research fields! 

3D microscope technique published in Optica

We describe how a new microscope can create 3D images of thick, primarily transparent specimens in a new article in Optica.

Heading back to to Duke!

I will join Duke University's Biomedical Engineering Department as an assistant professor in 2018, after finishing my postdoctoral fellowship in Berlin. If you hope to start graduate school or a postdoc in a couple of years and find my work interesting,...

Awarded Charles Wiltz prize at Caltech

I was awarded this prize from Caltech for "outstanding research in electrical engineering towards a PhD," which you can read more about here.

New paper about microscope resolution

Characterizing the resolution of a microscope can be a little bit tricky. In the following paper, we outline a set of guidelines and propose a common resolution standard for a particular class of microscopes that image with coherent light: Standardizing...

I just graduated with my PhD!

Over the past 6 months, I've mostly been working on a way to extend our Fourier ptychographic method to operate in 3D. Now, we can use a regular microscope and an LED array to capture the full volume of a thick biological specimen: Diffraction tomography...
