DESCRIPTION:Prof. Benjamin Judkewitz\, Humboldt University\, Berlin\nRecen
 t advances in resolution\, speed\, labelling and the advent of optogenetic
 s have greatly extended the use of optical techniques and enabled many bio
 medical breakthroughs. Yet\, when light propagates through thick biologica
 l tissues\, refractive index inhomogeneities cause diffuse scattering that
  increases with depth. This poses a major challenge to optical techniques\
 , limiting their biomedical usefulness in vivo to superficial layers of ti
 ssue or invasive approaches. In this talk I will describe several strategi
 es to address this key challenge using techniques based on wavefront engin
 eering and optical time reversal\, in order to enable optical imaging at u
 nprecedented depths in biological tissues.\nBio: Prof. Benjamin Judkewitz 
 is head of the Bioimaging and Neurophotonics lab within the Cluster of Exc
 ellence NeuroCure at Charité\, Humboldt University Berlin. Working across
  several disciplines\, Benjamin got his PhD in Neuroscience from Universit
 y College London and spent his Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral fellowship 
 at the California Institute of Technology in the Departments of Electrical
  Engineering and Bioengineering. His research group in Berlin develops and
  applies new techniques that overcome optical scattering – with the goal
  to study circuits of the brain that have thus far been inaccessible to no
 ninvasive optical methods.
