Course Aims

This aim of this course is to develop students’ knowledge and understanding about the fundamental principles of biophotonics and their applications to real-world devices. The topical coverage includes single-scatterer theories, Monte Carlo modelling of photon transport in biological tissue, sensing of optical properties and spectroscopy, ballistic imaging and microscopy, and photoacoustic imaging. Following the completion of this course, students will have a good understanding of photon-tissue interaction and the various methods and instruments used in biomedical optical research and clinical applications.
