Shaping the future of NanoBiophotonics

We explore the use of structured and ‘non-diffracting’ light fields in nanobiophotonics. The next generation of studies in biophysics requires us to revisit light propagation
which is presently lacking for numerous applications. This can useful for turbid or complex biological media, imaging large biomedical structures and targeted drug delivery at the single cell level

Very surprising and startling results are possible. Particularly by engineering and exploiting the phase and amplitude characteristics of light –
optical sculpting – we may provide a major breakthrough of how light actually propagates in a variety
of media. This will lead to us to many exciting questions: How do we obtain an optimal beam for trapping in a turbid or complex media? May we use complex media to create new forms of endoscopy?
How might we even explore ‘sub-diffractive’ nanosurgery or multiphoton imaging of cells and tissue? How do we image large structures effectively?

I will address these topics in this talk
