What we do!

Our research is at the interface of optics and materials science. We create new photoresponsive materials, typically polymers, to address important problems in regenerative medicine, lithography and bio-optics. ÌýWe expose these materials with novelÌýopticalÌýpatterning tools such as stereolithographic 3D printers, direct laser write or interference lithography. ÌýThe parts we fabricate are often beyond the capability of current characterization tools, so we also develop new tomographic, holographic and microscopic measurement techniques.ÌýOur work is highly interdisciplinary and thus we collaborate extensively with materials scientists, cell biologists, surgeons and engineers in academia, national labs and industry. ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and post-docs in the group come from both Electrical Engineering and Physics, typically specializing in Optics, and Materials Science, typically specializing in soft and polymer materials. ÌýWe are currenlty understaffed in experienced optics and holography researchers and would welcome inquiries about graduate or postdoctoral study.
