Horizons of Optics, Photonics and Emerging Sciences (HOPES) Webinar Series | Prof Martin Leahy

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.

Martin Leahy is Chair of Applied Physics at NUI Galway where he leads the Tissue Optics and Microcirculation Imaging Group. His group invented the Heart Rate App, correlation mapping OCT, nanosensitive OCT and depth encoded super resolution microscopy.

He chairs the biannual international Biophotonics and Imaging Graduate Summer School in Ireland and is a JBO Letters Editor. He leads H2020 STARSTEM on gold nanostars for optoacoustic stem cell tracking and is a partner in H2020 IMCUSTOMEYE to develop an instrument to measure the biomechanics of the eye.
