Timothy M. Baran, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the University of Rochester's Department of Imaging Sciences, Biomedical Engineering (joint), and The Institute for Optics (joint). He holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2007) and a Ph.D. in Optics from the University of Rochester (2013). His research focuses on photodynamic therapy (PDT), diffuse optical spectroscopy, and medical image processing, with applications in infection treatment, tumor therapy, and telemedicine. Key projects include a Phase 1 clinical trial for PDT in abscess treatment, AI-driven ultrasound segmentation (WATUNet), and global health initiatives like teleultrasound in Peru. His work bridges optics, engineering, and clinical medicine, emphasizing patient-specific treatment planning and accessibility. Baran has received awards including the Lasers in Surgery Young Investigators Award (2013) and the OSA Biomedical Optics Student Award (2012). His lab collaborates on NIH-funded projects (e.g., R01 EB029921) and involves students in PDT, optical modeling, and lung image processing.
