Hybrid diffuse optical neuromonitoring of cerebral haemodynamics: from the smallest premature born infants to adults
Hybrid diffuse optical devices allows for the non-invasive and continuous monitoring of the cerebral haemodynamics and metabolism. Such devices can be portable and are relatively inexpensive, therefore available at the ...
Environmentally friendly nanocrystals synthesized and processed in ambient conditions for solution-processed solar cells
Due to the continuously increasing energy demand and the environmental concerns about climate changes raised by international community, alternative energy resources have been put under intense investigation for the past ...
Hybrid diffuse optics for translational oncology and nanobiophotonics: towards a theranostic approach for emerging cancer therapies
A pre-clinical mouse model of human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) was employed as a method to study the prognostic and theranostic potential of two, non-invasive, deep tissue, diffuse optical techniques, namely ...
Correlates of cerebral vasoreactivity measured by non-invasive diffuse optical measurements as biomarkers of brain injury risk
I have used and developed a practical new platform in the clinics for the noninvasive estimation of cerebral hemodynamics. The latform combines two diffuse optical techniques: near-infrared spectroscopy and diffuse ...
A cold-atom approach to topological quantum matter across the energy scale
The outstanding progress achieved in the last decades to isolate and manipulate individual quantum systems has revolutionized the way in which quantum many-body phenomena, appearing across Nature's different energy scales, ...
Development and study of novel mid-infrared frequency conversion sources
Tunable narrow-linewidth and broadband laser sources in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) wavelength range are extremely desirable in all time scales for their several useful applications in spectroscopy, imaging, optical communication ...
Anomalous diffusion : from life to machines
Diffusion refers to numerous phenomena, by which particles and bodies of all kinds move throughout any kind of material, has emerged as one of the most prominent subjects in the study of complex systems. Motivated by the ...
Discerning between thermal and electronic effects in plasmonenhanced organic reactions
Since the pioneering work of Fujishima and Honda on titanium dioxide, TiO2, for the electrochemical photolysis of water under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, semiconductor-based photocatalysis and photovoltaics have become ...
Novel planar photonic antennas to address the dynamic nanoarchitecture of biological membranes
The cell membrane is the encompassing protective shield of every cell and it is composed of a multitude of proteins, lipids and other molecules. The organization of the cell membrane is inextricably intertwined with its ...
Nanoscale control of near-field interactions between single emitters and photonic antennas-on-probe
Photonic antennas are metallic (or dielectric) nanoscale structures that convert propagating light into highly confined fields, and vice versa, in analogy to common radio antennas but on nanometric scales that lead to ...
Quantum multipartite entangled states, classical and quantum error correction
Studying entanglement is essential for our understanding of such diverse areas as high-energy physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum optics. Moreover, entanglement allows us to surpass classical physics and ...
Spectral phase control of nanoscale nonlinear optical responses
The study of light-driven physical processes generated in nanomaterials require shorter (in time, or broader in frequency) laser pulses with techniques to tailor its phase and temporal/spectral characteristics at the ...
Levitation and control of particles with internal degrees of freedom
Levitodynamics is a fast growing field that studies the levitation and manipulation of micro- and nanoobjects, fuelled by both fundamental physics questions and technological applications. Due to the isolated nature of ...
Imaging cytometry technology for environmental and biomedical applications
Early detection of microorganisms in environmental and biomedical applications is critical for the effective response to potential pathogenic treats. Most traditional methods and instrumentation for the analysis of these ...
Exploring quantum many-body systems from an entanglement and nonlocality perspective
Entanglement and non-local correlations give rise to unprecedented phenomena with no classical analogue. As a result, they have settled themselves as fundamental properties in the study of quantum many-body systems, as ...
Investigations of topological phases for quasi-1D systems
For a long time, quantum states of matter have been successfully characterized by the Ginzburg-Landau formalism that was able to classify all different types of phase transitions. This view changed with the discovery of ...
