At the Optica ImageSense Congress in Maastricht this week, our fastMOT project was represented by Alberto Dalla Mora, who delivered an invited talk: “Lighting the Inside: The Path Toward Optical Radiography Through Next-Generation Single-Photon Detectors“ A huge thank you to the organizers and everyone who joined the session to[…]

We are thrilled to share two recent publications from our consortium partners at TU Delft. These milestones bring us a step closer to fastMOT’s goal of developing an innovative light sensing solution, a fast gated, ultra-high quantum efficiency single-photon sensor, to enable multifunctional deep body imaging with diffuse optics.[…]

Happy to report that Antonio Pifferi gave a quick project update on the latest activities in fastMOT at the Laserlab Europe Geneal Assembly meeting on 26 May at Dolní Břežany, Czechia. The annual event brings together representatives of leading research institutes, industry representatives and early-stage researchers to discuss the[…]

As we enter the fourth year of the fastMOT project, we take a moment to reflect on our key achievements and milestones from the past 12 months. It has been a highly productive year, with significant progress across all work packages. Highlights also include six new publications and multiple presentations at leading international conferences.   All work packages continue to contribute to our shared vision: developing a revolutionary new light-sensing solution for[…]

Happy tp report that Frederic Lange and Tommaso Palo presented their latest work on fastMOT at the Optica Biophotonics Congress in Fort Lauderdale, USA, at the end of April. Tommaso Palo“Exploring the Feasibility of 1064 nm for Time Domain NIRS Tissue Oximetry”“Phantom and In-Vivo DCS and TD-DCS Measurements with[…]

We’re back with the next video of our interview series, where members of the technical work packages share their work and vision within the fastMOT project. In this episode, we speak with Martin Caldarola, Lead Application Scientist at Single Quantum, representing Work Package 2. He contributes to the development[…]

Building advanced scientific instruments is often a story of many small steps. One of them is simply making sure everything is connected – literally. In this stage of the fastMOT project, we recently connected the cables that drive the superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. Watch the full system come together[…]

The fastMOT Young Researchers Exchange recently brought early-career scientists together at University College London (UCL) for two intensive and inspiring weeks of collaboration, innovation and cultural exchange. Hosted at UCL, PhD students from across the consortium worked side by side to advance simulations in time-domain optical techniques, strengthen cross-institutional[…]

On 18-19 February, the fastMOT team came together at University College London (UCL) for its fifth in-person meeting. The two-day hybrid event provided an opportunity to review recent findings, address challenges across the project’s work packages and define the next steps for the months ahead. The meeting opened with[…]

As part of our mission to innovate deep-body optical imaging and share our research journey with the wider community, we’ve created dedicated playlists featuring: Interviews with project members: Get to know the people behind the science, learn about their roles, motivations and perspectives within fastMOT.Technology talks and explainers, where[…]
