Ken Chu, PhD
Research Fellow
My work is on micro-OCT, a new OCT technique with micron-level resolution in every direction. One example application is cystic fibrosis; the high resolution μOCT system enables us to directly see microscopic cilia as they beat. We are also developing probes for in vivo imaging that will enable real-time μOCT imaging from within airways and arteries.

Michalina Gora, PhD
Research Fellow
My research interests include developing next generation gastrointestinal microscopy system using high-speed OFDI technique combined with a catheter that does not require endoscopy assistance and patient sedation. To achieve that goal I am focusing on system and catheter design and fabrication, and testing the safety, feasibility and efficacy of the technology in human clinical studies.

The topic of my thesis research is to investigate Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy for coronary atherosclerosis. We are conducting ex vivo studies using these methods to analyze molecular information from coronary plaques, which is supplementary to structural images. We will combine these modalities with OCT/OFDI for in vivo imaging.
