About the Speaker
George O. Dwapanyin is a Ghanaian early career researcher. He received his B.S in Physics in 2009 from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. He worked with the Radiation Protection Institute of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission where he was part of the pioneering team for non-ionising radiation protection. He was then awarded the Erasmus Mundus scholarship which saw him complete his M.S in Optics and Photonics from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany as well as the European masters in Photonics Engineering, Nanophotonics and Biophotonics from the Polytechnic University of Catalunya, Spain. His PhD in Physics was awarded by Stellenbosch University, South Africa in 2020 where his research led to the development of multimodal nonlinear imaging systems for biophotonics applications. This research also led to the first real world application of time domain ptychography in imaging. George has served as a reviewer and mentor for several committees within Optica and beyond. He is currently a research fellow with the Optical Manipulation Group at the University of St Andrews in the UK where his research currently dwells around advanced imaging techniques and Raman spectroscopy.
