Current Research Projects:

Current research in the Optical Engineering Laboratory is split fairly evenly between the engine/flame diagnostics research and the biomedical research. For other work going on, brief descriptions of other work being undertaken in the lab can be seen below. Please feel free to contact the relevant members to enquire about their work, or simply check back in a bit.

A selection of electronic papers from the last couple of years have been added here, describing some of our current work.

Spectroscopy in Combustion
Paul Dunkley is working on diagnosing flame front information using OH spectroscopy and tomographic arrays.

The Application of Advanced Optics in the fight against Cataracts
Keith Shaw is developing novel, low cost, plastic optic magnifiers for use in third world surgical procedures. More in the papers section.

Lens Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Photography
Spyros Gorgogiannis is developing a new instrument that will document quantitatively the fluorescence in the human lens relevant to its interference with visual function and the effect of diabetes mellitus by utilising spectroscopic and photographic techniques. You can read more on his personal web pages.

 

 

 Optical screening for type II non-insulin dependent diabetes
Claire Beck is developing autofluorescence based techniques to detect high levels of advanced glycated end products (AGE's) in the eye, an early indicator of the onset of diabetes.

Mid-Infrared Laser Ablation Studies
Gordon McKenzie is investigating the fundamental mechanisms and interactions involved in medical laser-tissue interaction.

Updating the Ophthalmoscope
Diane Taulbut and Richard Taylor are studying ways of improving the ophthalmoscope. The main area of study concerns the application of new technology to an instrument whose basic design has hardly changed in a century.

Improving the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer to Detect Glaucoma
Work is being undertaken by Han Yanmei on optical non-contact methods for determination of intraocular pressure.
