Booth's Dynamic Optics and Photonics Group develops adaptive-optics methods (deformable mirrors, spatial light modulators) for aberration correction in confocal, two-photon and super-resolution (STORM/STED/SIM) microscopy, enabling higher-fidelity deep-tissue biomedical imaging, alongside applications in ultrafast laser micro-fabrication of photonic devices.
Upadhyayula (trained with Eric Betzig at Janelia) develops multifunctional adaptive-optical super-resolution microscopy and the large-scale computational pipelines needed to reconstruct terabyte- to petabyte-scale 3D subcellular dynamics datasets. The group is actively recruiting postdocs.
