The primary focus of our research is in
interactions of electric field and light with biological cells and tissues. In optical domain we study dynamics of tissue
response to hyperthermia, cavitation, multiphoton ionization and coherent
Raman scattering. Electric field-induced effects include
cellular polarization, neural stimulation, electroporation, plasma-mediated
discharges and associated thermal effects. We develop applications of these
interactions to novel surgical, therapeutic, prosthetic and imaging
technologies in medicine, primarily in ophthalmology. Many of the interdisciplinary projects are
conducted in collaboration between the Department of Ophthalmology and Hansen
Experimental Physics Laboratory.
