Tomáš Čižmár

 

Tomáš Čižmár leads the group of Complex Photoonics at ISI. Although his scientific background is Physics, throughout his scientific career he took part in a variety of inter-disciplinary projects in Bio-Medical Photonics, mostly related to optical manipulation, digital holography, microscopy and cell biology. His recent research activities are focused on Photonics in random environments and highly turbid media such as biological tissues or multimode waveguides.

Johanna Traegaardh

Johanna Trägårdh is the leader of the workpackage focused on label-free imaging with chemical contrast. Her research is focused on instrument and method development for imaging and spectroscopy applications. Specifically, for studying light matter interaction at the nanoscale and bio-imaging.
As a postdoc at the University of Bristol she developed an instrument that combined NSOM with crossed beam spectral interferometry for characterising ultrafast light propagation in photonics structures. As a postdoc at the Centre for Biophotonics at the University of Strathclyde, she developed excitation sources and methods for bioimaging. This included e.g. a source for third harmonic generation (THG) imaging in thick brain tissue. She was also part of the team developing the Mesolens, which is a novel instrument for (confocal) imaging over a large field of view with subcellular resolution.
