Optical Manipulation and Its Applications
14 April 2019 – 17 April 2019 Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, Tucson, Arizona United States
This meeting covers the whole range of optical manipulation technologies currently being developed for studies in biophysics, single molecule, single cell and tissue level analysis, optical manipulation of chemical processes in organisms, lab-on-a-chip development, optomechanical cooling, environmental monitoring and theoretical underpinnings. Technologies to be considered include optical tweezers and associated techniques, photo activated materials, optogenetics, light-activated drugs and probes, and microfluidics. In this way, we will try and capture synergies between different optical manipulation technologies with a view to encouraging discussion between different user groups and the development of new hybrid techniques.

Plenary Session
Valentina Emiliani
Vision Institute Paris, France
Toward Circuit Optogenetics
Valentina will present how recent joint progress in light delivering approaches, opsins engineering and laser sources development have brought the field of optogenetics into a new phase that we can name ‘circuit optogenetics’, where neural circuits can be optically interrogated with milli-second temporal precision and single-cell resolution.
About the Speaker
Valentina Emiliani joined the Max Born Institute after having obtained her PhD in Physics in Rome in 1998. She investigate carrier transport in quantum wire by near field optical microscopy (SNOM). In 2002 she moved at the European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy to lead a research group focused on the investigation of light propagation in disordered structure by SNOM. In 2002 she moved to Paris at the Institute Jacques Monod in Paris. Her interest was to study the role of mechanical forces on the establishment of cell polarity by optical tweezers. In 2005 she was awarded with the European Young Investigator grant and formed the “Wave front engineering microscopy” group at Paris Descartes University, pioneering the use of wave front shaping for neuroscience. Valentina became research director in 2011 and Director of the Neurophotonics laboratory in 2014.
In 2018, she moved her group at the Vision Institute in Paris where she has also taken the head of the photonics department. In 2015 she obtained the Prix “Coups d’élan pour la recherche française” from the Bettencourt-Shueller foundation and in 2017 the Axa chair “Investigation of visual circuits by optical wave front shaping “.

Deep Learning-enabled Computational Microscopy and Sensing
Deep learning is a class of machine learning techniques that uses multi-layered artificial neural networks for automated analysis of signals or data. The name comes from the general structure of deep neural networks, which consist of several layers of artificial neurons, each performing a nonlinear operation, stacked over each other. Beyond its main stream applications such as the recognition and labeling of specific features in images, deep learning holds numerous opportunities for revolutionizing image formation, reconstruction and sensing fields. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of some of our recent work on the use of deep neural networks in advancing computational microscopy and sensing systems, also covering their biomedical applications.

Students will have an opportunity to discuss their ongoing research and career plans with their mentor, while mentors will share their professional journey and provide useful tips to those who attend. Lunch will be provided.
This Workshop is complimentary for OSA Members and space is limited. Not all who apply will be able to attend due to space limitations and priority will be given to those who have most recently or are close to graduation.
