Happy to announce that Laura di Sieno has been invited to Photonics West 2025 to give a presentation on “New insights for time-domain diffuse optics: instrumentation and approaches” in San Francisco on 26 January. During her presentation, she also introduced the audience to our work in the fastMOT project,[…]
While standard optical oximetry systems make use of two/more wavelengths across the isosbestic point of oxy/deoxy-hemoglobin and between 650 and 900 nm, this work explores the possibility to use only light at 1064 nm wavelength to detect the absolute oxyhemoglobin concentration in tissues using time-domain diffuse optics. Furthermore, the[…]
Happy to share that Alberto Dalla Mora had been invited to the 6th International Workshop on new Photon-Detectors (PD24), which took place in Vancouver (Canada) from 19-22 November 2024. In his talk “Towards optical radiography: photon-detectors to look inside the body using light”, he also had the opportunity to[…]
“Being able to adapt to change is crucial” In our series #WomeninScience, we will hear from the female scientific staff working on fastMOT, telling us about their roles in our project and their experiences of finding their career in science. Meet our next guest, Shrouk Eid Zaki Ahmed, PhD[…]
We are pleased to share that Xingmin Li of our project team represented us with a poster about simulations of Time Domain NIRS SCOS and DCS at the VIII Biennial Meeting of the Society for functional near-infrared spectroscopy (#fNIRS2024) in September.
“There is always something to learn from everyone!” In our series #WomeninScience, we will hear from the female scientific staff working on fastMOT, telling us about their roles in our project and their experiences of finding their career in science. Meet our next guest, Laura Di Sieno, associate professor[…]
It’s time to look back on our achievements and highlights after the first 12 months of the fastMOT project! In the months following our kick-off meeting in April 2023, we have already seen some encouraging early results, from promising tests and experiments to our first publications and presentations. All[…]
Last week, the fastMOT consortium held its second in-person meeting at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Castelldefels, a coastal suburb of Barcelona. The gathering brought together all partners of the project to welcome new staff members, foster team cohesion, and tackle critical discussions regarding the project’s detector[…]
Since their first demonstration in 2001 [Gol’tsman et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 79, 705–707 (2001)], superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have witnessed two decades of great developments. SNSPDs are the detector of choice in most modern quantum optics experiments and are slowly finding their way into other photon-starved fields of optics. Until now,[…]
“Learn from frustrations and turn them into your opportunities for progress” In our series #WomeninScience, we will hear from the female scientific staff working on fastMOT, telling us about their roles in our project and their experiences of finding their career in science. Meet today’s guest, Hui Wang, PhD[…]
