Research Interests
Optical Imaging (Optical Coherence Tomography)
Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Laser-Tissue Interaction
Development of imaging instrumentation, particularly miniature delivery endoscopes.
Development of applications in the broad areas of blood vessels and epithelial cancers
Her research into light-tissue interaction and dynamic optical properties of blood laid the groundwork for a novel therapeutic laser to treat cutaneous vascular disorders. She has published more than 60 peer-reviewed journal papers in these research areas.
