We made the Cover of Journal of Strutural Biology (Oct 2008)!

Research Interests
  • Microscopic Imaging
    • NMR Microscopy (µMRI) - transverse resolution as fine as tens microns
    • Optical Microscopy (PLM) - calculation of collagen fibril's retardation and angle
    • Electron Microscopy (TEM) - quantification of graphical details in images
    • Fourier Transform Infrared Imaging (FTIRI) - tissue anisotropy and molecular quantitation
  • Quantitative Mapping of Physical Parameters
    • velocity, self-diffusion, relaxation, anisotropy, chemical shift
    • optical retardantion, fiber orientation (birefringence), infrared dichroism
  • Image analysis and processing
    • binary data translation
  • Applications in Biological Systems
    • articular cartilage, bone, and osteoarthritis (OA)
    • eye and cataract, spider and dragline silk, vascular flows in plants
  • Applications in Material Sciences and Rheology
    • polymer tube flows (eg, tubeless siphon or Fano flow)

Initial setup at this address: January 4, 1999 (while others are digging themselves out of the Blizzard 99)
