معرفی
Dr. Christopher Rowlands is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London, part of the Faculty of Engineering. His research focuses on biophotonic instrumentation, including advanced optical systems for imaging, algorithm development, and open-source software engineering. He holds affiliations with the Artificial Intelligence Network, CRUK Convergence Science Centre, and the Rowlands Lab.
Education: BSc Chemistry at Imperial College London, PhD in Physics/Chemistry of Amorphous Materials at the University of Cambridge. Career highlights include postdoctoral work at the University of Nottingham, MIT, and Cambridge before joining Imperial College in 2017.
Research interests span optical physics, physical chemistry, materials engineering, and neurotechnology. His lab develops novel microscopes (e.g., temporal focusing, multiphoton, SWIR) and algorithms for hyperspectral imaging, particle tracking, and source separation. The Rowlands Lab emphasizes interdisciplinary projects in microfluidics, super-resolution imaging, and biomedical applications.
Currently supervises research projects in optical instrumentation, bioreactor monitoring, and automated microfluidic synthesis. The lab actively recruits students and postdocs for funded positions in bioengineering and photonics.
Notable projects include the Rowlands Lab’s work on selective high-throughput STORM, high-speed 3D SIM, and SWIR imaging for deep-tissue applications. The lab’s open-source software and instrumentation designs are publicly accessible.
