News
We develop various forms of novel biomedical imaging and sensing techniques based on optical and acoustical (i.e., ultrasound) methods to solve pending or unaddressed biological and medical problems. Pursuing this goal, our research follows all the stages in developing the related technologies—i.e., from system design to implementation and related experiments—to demonstrate their utility and explore new application areas. Moreover, we collaborate with many specialized biology research groups and clinicians in hospitals or medical schools in universities. In addition to application-oriented studies, we will also make efforts to conduct a significant amount of fundamental research to solidify the related technical basis.
