His research focuses on non-invasive optical techniques for assessing microvascular blood flow, particularly through laser speckle contrast imaging. These methods are applied in clinical contexts such as burn wound assessment and critical limb ischemia. He actively contributes to advancing real-time perfusion imaging with hardware-accelerated processing.
The recent publications highlight a consistent trend in developing robust, speed-resolved, and depth-sensitive imaging techniques using multi-exposure laser speckle contrast imaging, wavelet analysis, and machine learning. These studies span applications in skin perfusion, coagulation monitoring, and longitudinal variability in microcirculation, reflecting a strong interdisciplinary focus at the intersection of biomedical engineering, signal processing, and clinical physiology.
Scientific recognition includes:
