My lab develops cutting-edge imaging technologies for visualizing the intricate dynamic behaviors of biomolecules in living organisms.

I work across the fields of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, single-molecule spectroscopy, molecular imaging, and biophotonics. My research focuses on combining novel molecular and nanoparticle tags with modern optical designs and sophisticated image processing algorithms to create new imaging technologies for bioscience and medical applications.
