The successful candidate will be part of a newly funded project carried out jointly by the Medical Optics group led by Prof. Turgut Durduran, and the Plasmonic Nano-Photonics group led by Prof. Romain Quidant. Their research focuses on translational research bringing biomedical-optical methodologies and nano-photonics from the bench-top to pre-clinical and clinical applications. In particular, the candidate will be responsible for the design and implementation of a 3D photo- acoustic, tomographic imager in oncology models, the relevant data acquisition and analysis as well as in vivo testing on cancer models. This is a multi-disciplinary work which will combine expertise in bio-medical optics, nano- photonics, acoustics, oncology and state-of-the-art imaging modalities. In the long run, these findings will be translated to equivalent studies on humans and are expected to benefit cancer therapy in the clinics.
