The primary focus of our research is in
interactions of electric field with biological cells and tissues in a broad
range of frequencies – from electronics to optics. We study mechanisms
of such interactions including cellular stimulation, electroporation, thermal
coagulation, explosive vaporization, ionization, and cavitation. We develop
applications of these interactions to novel surgical, therapeutic and
prosthetic technologies in medicine, primarily in ophthalmology. We also study the mechanisms of elastic (Mie
and Reighley) and non-elastic (Raman) light scattering in cells and tissues,
and develop their applications to tissue imaging and diagnostics. Many of the interdisciplinary projects are
conducted in collaboration between the Department of Ophthalmology and Hansen
Experimental Physics Laboratory. |
