My strategy is to merge optical technologies and algorithms from statistics and image processing into complete sensing systems. To do this, I work directly with biologists and chemists to identify the shortcomings in their measurement tools and design the solutions that effectively meet their needs. I benefit greatly from my multidisciplinary background, which has included topics such as fundamental optics, information theory and signal processing, software engineering, and materials science.
