“Postdoctoral Fellow, Multiscale Functional and Molecular Imaging Group, TUM School of Medicine,
Germany

Ph.D., School of Medical Science and Technology, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India”

Research Topics:

“Medical imaging: Laser speckle contrast imaging, optoacoustic imaging, optical coherence tomography,
multispectral imaging.

Image processing and computer vision: Spatiotemporal and adaptive filtering, transform domain
processing, multiresolution analysis, image segmentation and morphological processing, image
registration, object localization, object tracking – optical flow.

Machine learning: Supervised and unsupervised classifications, probabilistic graphical models, clustering,
estimation techniques, neural networks.”

Research Focus:
My research domain focuses on imaging of human and animal organs in superficial and deep-tissue at
visible and near infra-red regime, aiming to non-invasive, in vivo and label-free assessment of various
anatomical and functional parameters in health and pathology. It encompasses various imaging
modalities like laser speckle imaging, multispectral imaging, optoacoustic imaging etc. to articulate
characteristic response of tissue-photon interaction using computational algorithms. During the tenure
of my research, I worked on developing imaging modalities through electro-optical system designs,
enabling the imaging of organs and deep-tissues with centimetre to micron resolutions. It also combines
a great deal in signal and image processing with significant thrust in de-noising, image reconstruction,segmentation, clustering and machine learning. With progressive applications of scientific deductions and engineering algorithms, it comes to my deep interest to implement and manifest resident
knowledge to innovate newer technological solutions for various biomedical applications.
