Barry R. Masters


Barry R. Masters is a visiting scientist in the Department of Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was formerly a visiting scholar in the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University and was also a professor in anatomy at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA), the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He is a recipient of The Vogt Prize for Ophthalmic Research with Dr. Böhnke in 1999, for "Confocal
Microscopy of the Cornea," (Highest Swiss Award for Research in Ophthalmology). Professor Masters has published 85 refereed research papers and 128 book chapters and articles. He is the editor or author of Noninvasive Diagnostic Techniques in Ophthalmology; Medical Optical Tomography: Functional Imaging and Monitoring; Selected Papers on Confocal Microscopy; Selected Papers on Optical Low-Coherence Reflectometry and Tomography; Selected Papers on Multiphoton Excitation Microscopy; Confocal Microscopy and Multiphoton Excitation Microscopy: the Genesis of Live Cell Imaging; and with Peter So, Handbook of Biomedical Nonlinear Optical Microscopy. He is currently writing a new book to be published by Cambridge University Press: Superresolution Optical Microscopy. Professor Masters is a member of the editorial board of Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology. His research interests include the development of in vivo microscopy of the human eye and skin, biomedical imaging and spectroscopy, and the fractal analysis of branching vascular patterns.
