Dr. Sergey Alexandrov

Research interest is the development of new optical methods and tools, such as microscopic imaging and measuring techniques (holographic, interference, polarization, spectral, photoacoustic, etc.) for biomedical and other applications. A significant contribution has resulted in the creation of new optical microscopy methods and techniques for imaging, nondestructive testing, diagnostic and its application to different samples, including biomedical samples and human beings in vivo.
