SPECIAL TOPICS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

BME 602

Special topics in biomedical engineering for graduate students or both graduate and undergraduate students together.

SPECIAL TOPICS IN BIOINSTRUMENTATION AND MEDICAL DEVICES

BME 603

Various special topics in bioinstrumentation and medical devices.

BIOPHOTONICS LABORATORY

BME 651

Learn and apply the fundamentals of optical imaging, microscopy and instrumentation via practical hands-on training with a specific emphasis on the life-sciences applications. Topics include constructing imaging systems using fundamental optical tools and instruments, illumination and aberrations, microscopy techniques, resolution and contrast measurement, optical spectroscopy, nanophotonics, bioimaging and biosensing.

BIOMEDICAL OPTICS AND BIOPHOTONICS

BME 751

The study and use of light in the life sciences. Interactions of light with cells and tissue can be used for imaging, measurement, diagnosis, and therapy. Applications include optical imaging, endoscopy, microscopy, resolution enhancement, adaptive optics, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), quantitative phase microscopy, spectroscopy (fluorescence, elastic scattering), diffuse optical tomography, and computational modeling of light transport in tissue. Fundamental skills, concepts, and theory used for these applications include geometric optics, lens design, Fourier transforms, polarization, interference, coherence, and scattering theory. Particular emphasis will be placed on current literature and cutting edge instruments and methods.

BIOLOGICAL OPTICAL MICROSCOPY

BME/CHEM/MEDPHYS 750

Covers several aspects of state-of-the-art biological and biophysical imaging with an emphasis on instrumentation, beginning with an overview of geometrical optics and optical and fluorescence microscopy. The bulk of the course will focus on advanced imaging techniques including nonlinear optical processes (multi-photon excitation, second harmonic generation, and stimulated Raman processes) and emerging super-resolution methods. Special emphasis will be given to current imaging literature and experimental design. Knowledge of physics-based optics [such asPHYSICS 202] strongly recommended.
