Mantas Žurauskas - NanO Postdoc in Adaptive Optics

My current research is focused on applying adaptive optics in microscopy with the aim of enabling fast three dimensional imaging in highly scattering tissues.

I have developed my interest in biomedical imaging during my master studies in optics and photonics at Imperial College, London. Prior to continuing my education, I have acquired some valuable industrial experience while optical design engineer in a microscopy spin-off company. I have obtained my PhD in University of Kent, where I have developed a novel method for multiplexed optical coherence tomography imaging. The systems that I have built were employed for accurate assessment of thermal damage in muscle tissues, and for non invasive continuous monitoring of fruit fly heart.
