  • Congratulations Dr. Zhao!

    On Monday, graduate student Hongting Zhao successfully defended her PhD thesis.  Her work has centered on improving brain sensitivity of cerebral blood flow measurements with diffuse correlation spectroscopy.  Dr. Zhao will be transitioning to a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia in July where she will continue her studies…


  • Dr. Buckley receives promotion and tenure!!!

    The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering announced Dr. Erin Buckley will receive a promotion to associate professor with tenure, effective Sept. 1.  Erin first joined the department and founded her lab with a focus on translational diffuse spectroscopies for brain monitoring in 2015. Since then, the lab has published over 20 papers and…


  • New paper out characterizing normative morphology of cerebral microvascular blood flow waveforms measured with diffuse correlation spectroscopy

    In our latest work published in Biomedical Optics Express, Tara Urner et al. present quantification of the average morphology of cardiac waveforms in the cerebral blood flow signal measured with diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), and how these waveforms behave in response to vasomotor changes. Pulse waveform analysis has long been used with the current state-of-the-art…
