Current Research Interests
- Optical physics, light in soft condensed matter (e.g. atmosphere, suspensions, biological tissue and cells): depolarization, decoherence, localization and propagation, mulitple scattering, weak localization of light, coherent backscattering of partially spatially coherent light.
- Biomedical optics: noninvasive imaging; bacteria, cell and nucleus characterization, size distribution and fractal structure; spectroscopic techniques and their biomedical applications; live cell microscopy, differential interference constrast microscopy.
- Stochastic processes and complex systems, statistical physics
- Laser interaction with and munipulation of bio-molecules and nano-particles
- Inverse problems in physical and biological sciences: inverse scattering problems and noninvasive imaging; noninvasive probing mesoscopic structure and dynamics of soft matters, correlated spectroscopy; remote sensing.
