INTELLIGENT LIGHT. HEALTHIER WORLD.
Our lab pioneers AI-informed optical and spectroscopy systems to advance both human and planetary health. We develop transformative solutions in diagnostics, therapeutics, women’s health, and global health, while also innovating for sustainability through food and water safety, clean manufacturing, sustainable mining, and smart agriculture. Guided by the vision of intelligent light for a healthier world, our work bridges cutting-edge research with real-world impact. Beyond the lab, we extend this mission through our outreach efforts in collaboration with SCIFRO, where our students help inspire and mentor the next generation of scientists and innovators through hands-on education and global engagement.
