Research Interest

Our research activity is mainly in the area of experimental optics and spectroscopy with special emphasis on biomedical optics and spectroscopy (biophotonics).  The studies involve (i) exploration of various optical spectroscopic approaches for probing biological systems and other complex systems, (ii) developing optical modalities for imaging through turbid medium. A significant component of our research is also devoted on (iii) basic theoretical and experimental studies on polarization (Mueller matrices, Stokes vectors, Jones matrices) and coherence characteristics of scattered light, their dependence on the morphological properties of the scattering medium, (iv) development of suitable model (Monte Carlo simulations, radiative transport theory, diffusion approximation) for propagation of light in random medium.
