10/1/2026: Congratulations to Stefan Radev on his first NIH R01 award! The $1.4 million, four-year project, funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), supports a collaboration with our lab to improve the accuracy and reliability of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) through biophysical simulation, generative AI, and Bayesian inference. The project will develop advanced computational tools for more realistic brain imaging and real-world fNIRS applications.

9/24/2026: Her manuscript titled "Near-Infrared Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging: Fluorophores, Methods, and Applications" has been accepted for publication in Journal of Biomedical Optics!

9/10/2026: Yushan is joining the lab this fall from Southern University of Science and Technology. She will join the project focusing on Macroscopic Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (MFLI). We're happy to have you joining us!

9/8/2026: Their manuscript titled "Deep Learning Framework for 3D Fluorescence Lifetime Estimation" has been accepted for publication in Journal of Biophotonics!

9/8/2026: Zobia has been selected as a winner to receive the Jo Anne and David Kelch ’60 Undergraduate Research Award for the Fall 2026 semester for her application titled “Quantitative 3D Mesoscopic Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging of Cancer-Targeted Therapy Delivery in Biologically Relevant Tumor Models.” Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!
