Keynote: Image or Far? Quantifying Complex Processes from Speckle in Space and Time
Numerous processes, from pharmaceutical manufacturing to blood perfusion in the retina, may be described as complex multi-phase flows. We discuss various strategies for using laser speckle to quantify them non-invasively and at high speed.
About the Speaker
George Barbastathis received the BSc in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, in 1993, and the MSc and PhD in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1994 and 1997 respectively. He was a postdoc with the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1997 to 1999. Subsequently he joined the faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, where he is presently Professor. He has also worked extensively at MIT’s Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) Centre and held sabbatical appointments at Harvard University (2006-7) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2013-14). He is a Fellow of Optica and the Society for Photo Instrumentation Engineering (SPIE). His current research interests are in optical physics, computational imaging and machine learning for inverse problems and complex process quantification.
