Update 2020
At present, I am a postdoctoral researcher in the department of applied physics and photonics at the free university of Brussels in Belgium. I continue algorithm development of the analytic method for freeform imaging system design with Professor Fabian Duerr. At the same time, I also work with Professor Heidi Ottevaere in the domain of biophotonics, more specifically Laser-Induced Raman Spectroscopy, Fluorescence microscopy for Alzheimer's early detection and two-photon polarization (2pp) for burn wound dressing. My main work now is to develop a super-sensitive fluorescence sensor in the project of “SensApp”, funded by the European Commission (EU) H2020 FET-OPEN under grant No. 829104.
“SensApp aims at developing a super-sensor system that, pushing the sensitivity well below 1 pg/mL, will be able to detect the Alzheimer's Disease (AD) biomarkers (Amyloid-beta, tau, P-tau) in human plasma, thus overcoming the limits of detection usually encountered by standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) protocols. This super-sensor will enable in future a faster and non-invasive early diagnosis of AD simply through a routine blood test, thus opening the route to highly efficient screening programs among the population.”
