PhD Title
Biophotonics for healthcare with fibre optics and single photon detection
Project Summary

This project aims to advance emerging optical technologies, including single photon detection systems and fibre optics, for improved healthcare technology. Fibre optics provide an optical window to the internal organs. Light interaction at the individual photon level with internal tissues can reveal the presence or progress of disease.

Key Activities

Using time-resolved single photon detection for fibre optic distributed temperature sensing.
