Horizons of Optics, Photonics and Emerging Sciences (HOPES) Webinar Series | Prof David Sampson

With this series, the IEEE UK and Ireland Photonics Chapter is taking a different approach to seminal webinars. Instead of focussing on a single piece of research and/or innovation, we invite highly impactful researchers to discuss the future of their research domains. This will allow the speaker to share their informed view of future innovations on a platform that encourages a true exchange for shaping the evolution of science.

We hope that in such discussions, unique solutions in pure and interdisciplinary domains can be unravelled.

David Sampson is Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Research & Innovation, at The University of Surrey, where he heads the research group Surrey Biophotonics. His interests span a wide range from theoretical to translational biophotonics, with strong emphasis on optical coherence tomography (OCT), including parametric imaging of attenuation, OCT elastography and polarisation-sensitive OCT.

He is a fellow of IEEE, OSA and SPIE; has served on the SPIE Board of Directors as an elected member and currently as adviser.
