Abstract

We will discuss the design strategies and recent developments of chip-scale microscopy approaches, including digital in-line holography, optofluidic microscopy and self-imaging digital Petri dish platform. 150-word Biography: Mr. Guoan Zheng is a PhD student in Prof. Yang's lab at Caltech. His research focused on using computational optical sensing and imaging methods to develope cost-effective high-throughput microscopy modalities. He was the recipient of Lemelson-MIT Caltech student prize in 2011. Prof Yang graduated from MIT in 2002 and has steadily moved towards warmer climates thereafter. In December of 2003, after short stints at ESPCI (Paris) and Duke University, he settled down here at Caltech. He has received the NSF Career Award, the Coulter Foundation Early Career Phase I and II Awards, and the NIH Director's New Innovator Award. Discover Magazine included Prof Yang as one of the top 20 scientists under 40 in their list of Best Brains in Science 2008. Professor Yang's research area is biophotonics—the imaging and extraction of information from biological targets through the use of light. His research efforts can be categorized into two major groups - Optofluidics for biosensing and interferometry based imaging. Article not available.
