About this position
This PhD project investigates deep tissue imaging with nonlinear microscopy and adaptive optics at the Institute of Biomedical Physics, Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria.
The doctoral researcher will work with an adaptive-optics nonlinear microscope built around a high-power pulsed laser system. The research will focus on novel methods for correcting optical aberrations and light scattering in thick tissue, with the goal of extending imaging depth beyond the current state of the art.
Applications will be developed together with the Institute of Neuropathology, connecting advanced biophotonics and experimental microscopy with biomedical imaging. The project is supervised by Alexander Jesacher and co-supervised by Adelheid Wöhrer, providing an interdisciplinary environment spanning optical physics, microscopy, tissue imaging and neuropathology.
The researcher will join the structured doctoral training environment of the Image Guided Diagnosis and Therapy PhD program, with international academic and industry exposure through planned secondments.
