معرفی
Adam Wax is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Professor of Physics at Duke University, where he leads cutting-edge research in optical spectroscopy for cancer detection, novel microscopy techniques, and low-coherence interferometry. As a member of both the Duke Cancer Institute Faculty Network and Duke Institute for Brain Sciences, he bridges engineering and biomedical applications.
- Education: B.S. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1993), M.A. (1996) and Ph.D. (1999) from Duke University
- Honors: Fellow, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (2014); Fellow, SPIE (2010); Fellow, OSA (2010); NSF CAREER Award (2004)
His research focuses on biomedical optics, particularly optical coherence tomography (OCT) and quantitative phase microscopy, with applications in early cancer detection, subcellular imaging, and clinical diagnostics. Recent work emphasizes low-cost, portable OCT systems for point-of-care applications and multimodal imaging combining spectroscopy with phase analysis.
