Research

 

I lead the Imaging Concepts Group. We conduct research into several non-conventional imaging techniques, including

Spectral imaging

Wavefront coding (8 Mb ppt file)

Aperture Synthesis

Millimetre-wave imaging

Biophotonic and Retinal Imaging

 

-Snapshot retinal spectral imaging 1,2

-Spectral imaging of the rat retina

-Processing of spectral retinal images 1, 2

Optical Field Encryption (which isn't imaging)
