光子学公开课第二十八期-加州理工大学汪立宏教授
Abstract：We developed photoacoustic tomography to peer deep into biological tissue. Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) provides in vivo omniscale functional, metabolic, molecular, and histologic imaging across the scales of organelles through organisms. We also developed compressed ultrafast photography (CUP) to record 10 trillion frames per second in real time, orders of magnitude faster than commercially available camera technologies. CUP can capture the fastest phenomenon in the universe, namely, light propagation, at light speed and can be slowed down for slower phenomena such as combustion.
Personal profile：Lihong Wang edited the first book on photoacoustic tomography. His book entitled "Biomedical Optics: Principles and Imaging" , one of the first textbooks in the field, won the 2010 Joseph w. Goodman Book Writing Award. He has published 550 peer-reviewed journal articles and delivered 540 keynote/plenary/invited talks. His Google Scholar h-index and citations have reached 138 and 80,000, respectively. His laboratory was the first to report functional photoacoustic tomography, 3D photoacoustic microscopy, photoacoustic endoscopy, photoacoustic reporter gene imaging, the universal photoacoustic reconstruction algorithm, and CUP (world's fastest camera). He chairs the annual conference on Photons plus Ultrasound, the largest conference at Photonics West. He wasthe Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Biomedical Optics. He received the NIH Director's Pioneer, NIH Director's Transformative Research, and NIH/NCI Outstanding Investigator awards. He also receivedthe OSA C. E. K. Mees Medal, IEEE Technical Achievement Award, IEEE Biomedical Engineering Award,SPIE Britton Chance Biomedical Optics Award, IPPA Senior Prize, and OSA Michael S. Feld Biophotonics Award. He is a Fellow of the AlMBE, COS (Foreign Fellow), Electromagnetics Academy, IEEE, OSA, and SPIE. An honorary doctorate was conferred on him by Lund University, Sweden. He was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering.
