Papers, awards and grants

Eli, Luigi, Rasel and Ulas published a depth sensitive method for recovering tissue optical properties through a laparoscope, using several spatial frequencies rather than one, in Biomedical Optics Express. Read it.

Eli, Rasel, Berna, Semra and Ulas, with collaborators at POP Biotechnologies and the University at Buffalo, published quantitative fluorescence imaging of light triggered drug release in 3D cancer spheroid models in Pharmaceutics. Read it.

Chris and Ulas, with the Advanced Quantum Architecture Laboratory at EPFL, published the validation of a fiber coupled single photon avalanche diode camera for deep tissue blood flow measurement, tracking flow at source to detector separations up to 3.25 cm, in Biomedical Optics Express. Read it.

Sahar, Chien, Carsi, Chris, Irfaan and Ulas, with Stony Brook Neurosurgery, Quantum Opus and the University of Cincinnati, published depth sensitive bedside monitoring of cerebral blood flow and low frequency oscillations in patients with disorders of consciousness, in Neurophotonics. Read it.

Sahar, Chien, Dhar and Ulas published depth resolved measurement of cerebral blood flow and low frequency oscillations after traumatic brain injury in mice, finding that the oscillation measures shift more clearly than blood flow alone, in Neurophotonics. Read it.

Rasel, Eli, Semra and Ulas published quantitative fluorescence imaging of chemophototherapy drug pharmacokinetics through a laparoscope, recovering absolute drug concentration in an ovarian cancer model, in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Read it.

Ulas was a co author of AAPM Task Group Report 274 on fluence rate dosimetry for photodynamic therapy, published in Medical Physics. Read it.

Chris was awarded the Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence, which recognizes graduating seniors for excellence across academics, leadership and community involvement.

Dr. Bruce Tromberg, Director of the NIH National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, visited Stony Brook University hosted by Ulas.

Chris presented the lab's work on compact FPGA based diffuse correlation spectroscopy at the Optica Biophotonics Congress.

Ulas was selected as a standing member of the NIH Imaging Technology Development study section.

The lab received a Fall 2023 seed grant from the Office of the Vice President for Research.

The lab received a pilot grant from the Center for Healthy Aging.
