Research Fields:
Liquid Crystal Devices: We develop electrooptic devices for modulation of light and their photonic applications in imaging and optical telecommunications such as tunable filters, polarization controllers, and fast phase and intensity modulators. In addition we are part of the project to develop night goggles based on LCDs.
Optical Biosensors: In this activity optical biosensors are being developed based on nanophotonic and plasmonic structures for environmental and medical applications such as for water quality control and blood analytes sensing.
Optica bioimaging systems: these systems combine LC devices in order to improve the image quality and enhance their performance such as a spectropolarimetric system for skin cancer detection and full field optical coherence tomography system for 3D imaging in real time.

Research fields:
Computational optical sensing and imaging (COSI): Developing intelligent optical imaging and sensing systems that combine advanced digital processing techniques with specially designed optics. Among others, we develop system and methods for motion detection and tracking, and hyperspectral imaging for satellite remote sensing.
Compressive Sensing- this is a novel theory for digital signal acquisition (that allows sub Nyquist sampling) – we are developing optical implementation that take advantage of this new theory.
Three Dimensional (3D) imaging-we developed theory, algorithms, methods for coherent and incoherent 3D imaging, techniques for visualization of 3D data.
