Published in @OpticaPubsGroup , during her PhD @HeriotWattUni , working applying advanced photonics to healthcare with @uCare_EPSRC and others.

Excited to see this now published by Caitlin Tye , out now in BioMedical Optics Express (Optica).

It was great to be involved in this event and be invited to (badly) express some of my opinions - thinking about bridging the gap between emerging technologies and real world applicaitons....

We in @IOPMED love pushing for more physics to reach healthcare.

@ARC_QuantumTech @woolger13 @CercaMagnetics @ScotFundCouncil @SINAPSECENTRE @IOPPublishing @anchored_in @a_lyons2 @Tech_Scot @QuantIC_QTHub Looking like this is going to be a great event, hoping we at @IOPMED can help link in the medical physics community.

[Michael Tanner @Tanner_LabStuff]

Great to see this announced and lucky to be involved in it. The MicroTex hub gives us a real opportunity for impactful work over the coming years.

[Rob T. @RobertRThomson1]

Incredibly excited that our MicroTex Hub has been selected for funding by @EPSRC.

Our team will develop new tools for experimental medicine in the lung, accelerating new therapies for inflammation and infection.

@IOPOpticalGroup @IOPMED @iop_conferences @dynafluors Here is András presenting in Italy (ISSW) instead, but it's just not as fun as #Photon24 ...

[Michael Tanner @Tanner_LabStuff]

Another excellent #Photon24 with the @IOPOpticalGroup @IOPMED @iop_conferences and a great time had in conversations with the community. Proud of my group for the work they presented, and we did enjoy the very large sparkly signs....

[Michael Tanner @Tanner_LabStuff]

@IOPOpticalGroup @IOPMED @iop_conferences @dynafluors And András Kufcsák presented our translation too clinic of a time resolved medical device - and I forgot to take a photo!

The Single Photon Workshop abstract deadline has been extended to 26th July. So far, there has been a huge response to the conference. See web-site for more details on abstract submission and confirmed invited speakers.

This is disturbing.

[Michael Tanner @Tanner_LabStuff]

Now Caitlin is applying similar techniques to medical sensing challenges. Also fun....

[Michael Tanner @Tanner_LabStuff]

This out in @OpticaPubsGroup Opt. Express.
Great work from Caitlin!

The power of many single photon detectors in a CMOS SPAD array to spectrally multiplex, then measure temperature at all points on a fibre using time.
With @uCare_EPSRC and @HWU_Physics

[Michael Tanner @Tanner_LabStuff]

@OpticaPubsGroup @uCare_EPSRC @HWU_Physics @QuantumSensors As these types of detectors become industrially produced (for LIDAR / self driving cars) I think it is interesting to see how we can apply them to these kind of alternate practical applications.
But in the end - we did it for fun!
