Multimodal Imaging for Biological and Inorganic Materials

Research Topic
Abstract

This internship will focus on the characterization of materials that could be from different origins (biological such as tissue or experimental model as organoids; organic as polymers and plastics, biopolymers textiles, food product, etc.; or inorganic such as ceramics, semiconductors, coatings, geological samples, etc.) using advanced optical imaging technologies. The work will involve some of these imaging technologies: hyperspectral, OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), polarization sensitive OCT, SFDI (Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging) and Mueller imaging to capture multidimensional structural and spectral information. Statistical and AI based post processing methods will be explored to improve data interpretation and develop robust analytical tools.
