Research Overview
Research activities in my group cover the area of biophotonics at the interface between life and physical sciences. In collaboration with the School of Physics and Astronomy, my research work includes:
- Development of a new generation laser-scanning multiphoton microscope based on Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) for label-free studies on living cells
- Development of an optical biosensor for sensitive detection of biomolecules and microparticles using whispering-gallery modes of dielectric microspheres
- Development of a multiphoton optical microscopy (four-wave mixing imaging) based on the resonant nonlinear emission of colloidal nanocrystals (semiconductor quantum dots and metallic nanoparticles)
- Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) as a probe of biomolecular interactions
