The main research focus in our group, Applied Life Photonics at HKU (AlphaHKU), is on developing new photonic tools which help solve a myriad of critical problems in biomedicine, life science and basic physics. Main interests particularly include development of ultrafast optical bioimaging and spectroscopy platforms. One key vision is to exploit a new generation of high-data-volume measurement and analytical strategies applied in basic science and biomedicine, such as high-throughput and high-content single cell analysis.
