Core Competencies

Core competencies include optical-based diagnostics and sensing, laser tissue interactions, and advanced electro- mechanical design and control. These competencies are supported by modern laboratory facilities and scientists and engineers with skills in optical engineering and spectroscopy, laser-material interactions, mechanical, thermal, and fluids engineering, electrical, electronic and software engineering, and controls and automation.

Current Research Thrusts Include:

• Tunable diode laser spectroscopy for trace gas breath analysis
  
• Real-time optical dosimetry for photodynamic cancer therapy
  
• Advanced devices for continuous osteo-distraction and automated musculo-skeletal corrections
  
• VR and haptic-based medical task training simulators
  
• Advanced devices for personnel thermo-regulation
  
• Rapid breath tests for phenotyping metabolic activities
  
• Endoscopic-based optical metrology
  

Our recent and current sponsors include the National Institutes of Health, the DoD, and DARPA and select commercial entities.
