I develop robust optical methods which leverage spectroscopy of scattered light — bridging light-transport physics and applied engineering to build devices that provide quantitative, actionable data. My work spans three areas — non-invasive medical diagnostics, funded by my NIH Pathway to Independence award (K99/R00); non-destructive food-quality evaluation; and optical metrology of turbid media — all built on calibration-free methods that recover absolute optical properties rather than uncalibrated indices.
