Scholarship Description: PhD student Within the frames of MAESTRO program, Optical Biomedical Imaging Group, at Nicolaus Copernicus University (NCU), Torun, Poland offers 2 scholarships at the amount of 2 500 PLN/month for two PhD students. The project is entitled: ‘Focusing and imaging in scattering media by partial coherence interferometry and adaptive optics’’ In this research program we would like to solve one of the most fundamental problems of optics, which is related to imaging throughout highly scattering media. The objective of this project is to study the possibility of exploiting optical properties of turbid media to control the propagation of light and to obtain information about the structures located inside optically inhomogeneous objects. The specific aims of this program are: 1. Investigation of the possibility to control light propagation in strongly scattering medium by spatial/temporal phase modulation with partial coherence interferometry. 2. Analysis of influence of static and dynamic phase modulation introduced by the scattering medium on tissue imaging. The PhD student will be responsible for theoretical research associated with validation of Born approximation in turbid media and general diffraction theory, as well as for assembling setups and analyzing the results to investigate the possibility of light control in turbid media.. The PhD student will join the Optical Biomedical Imaging Group, Institute of Physics at NCU (http://obig.fizyka.umk.pl) and will be supervised by Dr. hab. Maciej Wojtkowski. Requirements
