In the lab we are utilizing optical trapping to manipulate microorganisms, study light-matter interaction, and engineer new generation of biodegradable technology.
Light can be used to image tiny objects, cells, and small organisms. Light can be used as medical treatment. Light can be used to understand property of materials. Also, light (laser beams) can be used to trap and move microscopic objects.
We control and shape light in time and space, develop novel optical micromanipulation techniques for biophotonics studies, explore how to improve light transmission through scattering media, study effects of ocean microplastics on microorganisms, and engineer new biophotonics systems with light.
As a biophysics lab we work with many different specialties of physics and biology; Such as Lasers, microscopes, optics, microorganisms, cells, nanoparticles. We use cool optics techniques to investigate novel bio-optical phenomena and engineer new bio-photonic systems. If this sounds fun to you, contact us!
Interested candidates should send a CV along with a short statement about why you are interested in working with us to anna.bezryadina@csun.edu
