Dr. Susan Daly

Susan completed her BSc in Applied Physics graduating with a first class honours degree in 2009. She was awarded an IRCSET scholarship to pursue a PhD. Her work pertains to the design, development and application of non-invasive imaging systems aimed towards in vivo diagnostic applications, utilising both morphological (structure) and functional (circulation) information of the vasculature

Dr. Azhar Zam

Azhar Zam completed his PhD in Advanced Optical Technologies from Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), Germany. In 2011, he worked as Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Waterloo, Canada. He joined TOMI in early 2012. During his postdoctoral research at TOMI, he worked with OCT for biometric fingerprinting and developed the first fully integrated Photoacoustic wave simulator. His main interest are Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), tissue optics and monte carlo simulation, Photo Acoustic Tomography (PAT), feedback system for laser surgery, and bio-optical spectroscopy/imaging. He is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at University of California Davis, USA.

Dr. Marie-Louise O'Connell

Marie-Louise completed her PhD at the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science (NCBES) at NUI Galway where her research culminated in several publications and the filing of a highly successful industrial patent application. She joined the TOMI core of the national biophotonics and imaging platform Ireland (NBIPI) in early 2009 as a postdoctoral researcher exploring the direct translation of novel hybrid optical imaging and spectroscopy methods for a more compact and non-invasive clinical analysis. She employed a clinically-driven research vehicle that aimed to validate their routine implementation for assessment of the microcirculation. Her work drew upon a number of collaborating partners both within NBIPI and beyond. During her TOMI tenure, Marie-Louise published and communicated her work, lectured in undergraduate physics, served as co-ordinator and proceedings co-editor for an international imaging conference and organised our international Biophotonics and Imaging Graduate Summer School (BIGSS) series, securing funding and sponsorship from Photonics 4 Life, SPIE and various related industries. Marie-Louise subsequently served as Research Programme Manager for NBIPI at our Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) headquarters in Dublin before leaving in 2012.

Dr. Enock Jonathan

Enock Jonathan joined the group in 2009. He holds a PhD in the field of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. His main interest is electro-optic instrumentation, noninvasive high resolution imaging, sensing and characterisation and novel processing algorithms. He is the pioneer of correlation mapping Optical Coherence Tomography (cmOCT), a technique for visualising the living microcirculation in greater detail from processing intensity OCT image datasets. cmOCT makes it possible to study the microcirculation under different physiological and pathophysiological conditions. He is currently assistant professor at University of Cape Town.

Dr. Joey Einfield

Joey graduated with a PhD from the Physics Department at UL in 2011. He has previously completed his BSc in Applied Physics in 2006 with a first class honours degree. Upon graduation he was awarded an IRCSET scholarship to undertake a PhD program in biomedical optics. Joey's work focussed on the area of optical clearing and cmOCT. He is currently working for Fexco as Java developer.

Kate Lawlor

A former honours physics graduate Kate currently attends the graduate entry medical school (GEMS) at UL. She has previously collaborated on research projects with the TOMI team and spent the summer of 2011 on a funded research project that demonstrates the routine clinical use of laser speckle perfusion imaging of dermatological diseases at the mid-western regional hospital.
