Mohamed Nijas
Research Area: Optical Coherence Tomography, Optical Fiber probes, Tumour Imaging, Lensless Microscope, Optical System Design.
My main research is to develop an optical fiber-based Spectral-domain OCT system. The system is primarily used for clinical validation of Gastrointestinal tumours. Also, I focus on the design,
fabrication and testing of various optical fiber probes for OCT. One such application is the Optical guidance system for epidural space identification. This system provides visual feedback to the
medical practitioner during the exploration of epidural space identification during epidural injections.

Research Area: Application of Optical Coherence Tomography for Oral Cancer Detection: An ex-vivo
investigation.
My major research effort is to address
the identification and validation of novel OCT signatures of oral carcinogenesis. Other interests
include fluorescence imaging and oral cytology evaluation in the context of oral cancer
progression. Our previous collaborative efforts with team members have resulted in a database of
cellular and nuclear volumes in health oral epithelial cells. Overall, my research efforts address a
broad spectrum of optical adjuncts for screening suspicious oral lesions.

Aswathy Vijay
Research Area: Digital holographic microscopy, Lensless imaging, microscopy.
Quantitative phase imaging is an emerging label free modality that gives a quantitative estimation of phase, unlike like dark-field microscopy,
Zernike phase-contrast microscopy, etc. It precisely maps the optical path length variation into clear and accurate visualization of extremely transparent samples.
Digital holographic microscopy in in-line and off axis configuration can be explored for phase reconstructions to estimate parameters like thickness, refractive index,
absorbance etc. Designing microscopes in bench-top and modular configuration for disease analysis and point of care applications is another area of focus.

Ashwini S. Galande
Research Area: Lensless Holographic Microscopy for Point-of-Care Applications
A two-fold solution for the problems with conventional cytology procedures used for cervical cancer diagnosis. First is to develop
a low-cost, portable lensless holographic microscope, which gives quantitative phase information to screen cervical
cells, over the bulky and costly optical microscopes. The novel contribution here is the proposed sparsity assisted
phase retrieval algorithm to remove twin images and noise from the reconstructed image in real-time. Second is the
Deep Learning-based automated analysis to assist the doctor in diagnosis, so that there will be low false-negative
results, over the time-consuming manual examination of cell samples that results in inter-observer variability.

Pawan Kumar
Research Area: Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (FF-OCT)
Optical Coherence Tomography is a low coherence interferometric imaging technique that is capable of
providing high resolution cross-sectional images of thick specimens. Full-Field Optical Coherence
Tomography (FF-OCT) is a variant of OCT that creates a transverse cross-sectional or en-face image at a
depth of a biological sample without doing any lateral scan. It is technically versatile for many clinical as
well as industrial applications.

Shiv Kumar R
Research Area: Study and investigation of algorithms for the computer-aided diagnosis of retinopathy of prematurity in retinal fundus images of preterm infants.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a sight threatening disorder that primarily affects preterm infants. It is the major cause for lifelong vision impairment and childhood blindness. Digital fundus images of preterm infants
obtained from a Retcam Ophthalmic Imaging Device are typically used for ROP screening.
ROP is often accompanied by Plus disease that is characterized by high levels of arteriolar tortuosity and v
enous dilation. The recent diagnostic procedures view the prevalence of Plus disease as a factor of prognostic
significance in determining its stage, progress and severity.
Our aim is to develop a diagnostic method, which can distinguish images of retinas with ROP from healthy ones and that can be interpreted by medical experts.
