Welcome to the BioOptics StudentView blog. Here, you will find posts written by university students studying biomedical optics and photonics and their applications. You will hear about their research and utilization of optical technologies in their studies; that is, advances in both biophotonics tools and the life sciences work they enable.
In a field with technology that continues to rapidly develop, students must remain ahead of the curve. As an intern at BioOptics World and a student studying biomedical engineering, I've found that as technology continues to progress, developers continue to create devices that are smaller (such as this portable flow cytometer), have higher resolution (like this 29 Megapixel camera), better accuracy and reliability, are more cost-effective, more durable, and sustainable. All of this adds up to more power and flexibility in the hands of researchers.
This blog aims to share the advances and creativity of current students and scholastic laboratories, while looking to the future of biomedical optics and photonics technology. The BioOptics World staff hopes that you enjoy the perspectives offered by students who represent the future of this field!
KELLIE CHADWICK is a senior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI; Worcester, MA) majoring in biomedical engineering, with a concentration in biomaterials and tissue engineering--the latter of which garnered her interest because of various research possibilities and the advancements in medicine. Her senior year capstone project is to design a biomorphic tissue scaffold that can be fabricated with an inexpensive 3D printer.
