This project develops a fibre-optic speckle contrast optical spectroscopy system for real-time, non- invasive mapping of cerebral blood flow. By analysing fluctuations in scattered light, the system aims to provide critical insights into brain function and dynamics.

This project combines optical sensing with AI to extend the penetration depth of speckle contrast optical spectroscopy for measuring deep brain blood flow. By utilising computer vision, the system will accurately interpret speckle patterns in real time, offering valuable insights into cerebral blood flow dynamics and enhancing treatments for neurological disorders.

This project fabricates a miniature sensor fabricated at the tip of an optical fibre to enhance the tactile feedback in surgical robotics. This innovative sensor enables precise detection of tactile forces in real time, providing surgeons with improved sensitivity and control during minimally invasive procedures.
