Postdoc in Multispectral MIR Microscopy for Improved Image Guidance of Superficial Tumor Margins - DTU Electro

Job description

If you are establishing your career as scientist and you are looking for the best possible foundation for fulfilling your dreams and ambitions, the Technical University of Denmark has an open 2.5-year Postdoctoral Researcher position as part of the Grand Solutions project, “ AIMICS: An AU-driven Multidimensional Imaging Platform to Improve Cancer Surgery ”. The project aims to pioneer the field of diffuse reflection mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy for surface analysis of complex biological samples. The primary objective of this project is to create an ultrasensitive imaging system to capture MIR spectral features to differentiate cancer tissue from benign tissue. Responsibilities and qualifications: In this project novel methods will be explored for the acquisition of (MIR) spectral signatures. Particularly, pulsed MIR sources and synchronous upconversion detection will be developed and implemented for hyperspectral image acquisition of highly opaque samples. The diagnostically relevant signatures are mainly available in the 3 to 4 µm and the 5 to 8 µm band. Several implementations will be developed and tested: First transmission mode sample analysis will be implemented with existi...
