معرفی
Jerome Mertz is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Boston University, where he leads the Biomicroscopy Lab developing novel optical techniques for biological imaging. His research focuses on advancing microscopy capabilities for deep tissue and high-speed applications.
Research innovations include:
- Advanced volumetric imaging techniques for capturing dynamic biological processes
- Adaptive optical systems for aberration correction in complex media
- Novel approaches for imaging through scattering tissues including oblique back-illumination microscopy
- High-speed imaging technologies enabling kilohertz-rate voltage imaging in vivo
Dr. Mertz has received significant recognition including the Aimeé-Cotton Prize (2002) and Fabry-de-Gramont Prize (2001). His recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate strong focus on developing scattering microscopy techniques, voltage imaging in thick tissues, and super-resolution methods. Earlier work established foundations in adaptive optics and interferometric approaches.
Current projects involve three-photon subcortical imaging, optical scan multiplier development, and HiLo microscopy enhancements. The Biomicroscopy Lab maintains active collaborations with neuroscience groups for in vivo applications.
