This is a PhD research project in Physics. This project aims to advance emerging optical technologies, including single photon detection systems, for improved healthcare technology. Light interaction at theindividual photon level with internal tissues can reveal the presence or progress of disease. This project will be focussedon time resolved observation of light absorption and scattering in tissue. We will develop new imaging modalities,somewhat related to diffuse optical tomography, but utilising time resolved detection systems to reveal enhancedinformation on photon interaction with tissue. This can, for instance, provide alternative techniques for revealing thepresence of tumorous tissue. This will include practical development and demonstration of new healthcare technology incollaboration with clinicians and medical researchers at the University of Edinburgh.

这是一项物理学博士研究项目。该项目旨在推进新兴的光学技术，包括单光子探测系统，以改进医疗技术。光在单个光子水平上与内部组织的相互作用可以揭示疾病的存在或进展。该项目将聚焦于组织中的光吸收和散射的时间分辨观测。我们将开发新的成像模式，这在一定程度上与漫反射光学层析成像有关，但利用时间分辨检测系统来揭示关于光子与组织相互作用的增强信息。例如，这可以为揭示肿瘤组织的存在提供替代技术。这将包括与爱丁堡大学的临床医生和医学研究人员合作，实际开发和演示新的医疗保健技术。
