It was great to meet Donna Strickland during my AMO/IQSE seminar visit to @TAMU Physics + delightful dinner conversations. Donna is one of the only five women (out of 226 laureates) to win @NobelPrize in Physics. She is a Hagler Fellow at TAMU.
Today I will be hosting Dr. Anthony Guiseppi Elie for our BME seminar @UHBiomedEng @UHEngineering. If you are at UH or in the Houston area and interested in implantable microanalytical systems, please join us.
It was a pleasure to have Brandon Chalifoux from UArizona Wyant College of Optical Sciences visit us this week. We discussed the development of advanced X-ray Optics plus the tour of our lab including the home-built X-ray spectral and phase imaging system.
Nice read. Our group is working to dramatically improve the utility of X-ray and CT to separate similarly attenuating materials from one another in single-shot imaging. Like cancer from dense tissue or plastics from explosives. @APSphysics #XRayPhaseImaging
#OTD in 1895, the discovery of the #xray revolutionized #physics and #medicine. @NobelPrize winner Wilhelm Roentgen captured an image of his wife’s hand, with her bones and wedding ring clearly visible.

Thank you for hosting my Physics department colloquium today at UT Dallas. Special thanks to @LloydLumata group for the wonderful dinner conversations ranging from academics to life and election results!!
Dallas views! Visiting @UT_Dallas Physics tomorrow (Wednesday) for a colloquium. If you are at UTD, come by at 4 pm! What an important day we picked for this visit! calendar.utdallas.edu/event/…
My definition of physics is that physics is not what you’re working on, but how you’re working on it - John Hopfield on solving problems between fields. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Beautiful!! Nice work. Quantum ghost imaging of intact plants.
Is that a ghost!? 👻 😱 Wait, it's ghost imaging!
Quantum ghost imaging, which measures absorption at extremely low light intensities, can be used for practical bioimaging, as shown in a recent #OPG_Optica study from @LosAlamosNatLab.
Happy #Halloween!
Very nice @EspanolMalena . We need to start something like this for Modern Physics (+ Optics/Math) areas. Older curricula in traditional programs do not get to many new and interdisciplinary topics. So many opportunities exist when trained in these areas.
After teaching and doing research as a Professor @UHouston for many years I finally applied for US citizenship only during COVID. Yesterday afternoon I was excited to cast my first vote as a citizen for a US Presidential election. #ivoted2024
If you are looking for early voting centers, the one I went to at the Bayland park location was not very crowded at all. It is open all day every day until Nov. 1st. Take your ID and check times online #ivoted2024
End of an era @UHPhysics. Retirement party for beloved former chair Prof. Larry Pinsky. Brilliant, generous, visionary leader who started interdisciplinary research areas @UHPhysics. Both I and Prof. Koerner (pictured) were recruited during his chairmanship.
The first presentation at a conference is special for any student. Christinejulie (BME student) gave her 1st talk @APSphysics Texas meeting in Dallas yesterday. On image texture analysis for pathologically relevant biomarkers. @UHPhysics @UHBiomedEng
Thank you @LloydLumata for this photo of Christine giving her first talk as I was unable to attend.
The best video I have seen on the basics of making a hologram. Pass this on to any high school or college student who might be even remotely interested in Physics/Optics.

We had @DrTayloriaAdams from UCIrvine Engineering give a really interesting seminar at BME @UHEngineering. What an important topic. Enables understanding of electric field interaction with living cells. #Physics#Bio
Dynamic fashion with movement sensing. Fusion of physics, optical effects, materials science ideas. Some designs don't seem to correlate with any movement though. Cool and intriguing.
ParticlePhysics meets Imaging @UHouston. With Prof. Lisa Koerner @UHPhysics after our Friday lunch on campus. We joined @UHouston the same year. Lucky to find a supportive colleague (despite different research areas) who also became a good friend.
It was wonderful to have Prof. Kang (DK) from Univ. of Arizona Optical Sc. and BME this week @UHPhysics for our colloquium. He spoke about the development of portable and cheap microscopes for a range of applications.
