DESCRIPTION:Prof. Audrey K. Ellerbee\, Stanford University\, Stanford\, CA
  (USA)\nBIOENGINEERING SEMINARAbstract:\nIn its nearly 25-year history\, o
 ptical coherence tomography has gained appreciable notoriety as a technolo
 gy capable of non-invasively imaging the microstructure of biological tiss
 ue. The rapid penetration of OCT into the clinical market has both been dr
 iven by and itself stimulated new technological advances in the field\, wi
 th the end result of a highly informative\, patient-friendly diagnostic mo
 dality. Recently\, the Stanford Biomedical Optics group has taken a system
 atic approach to re-engineering the traditional OCT system both to underst
 and and to overcome some of the known limitations of current designs. In t
 his talk\, I provide a perspective on historical developments in the field
 \, our recent contributions\, and new application areas.Bio:\nAudrey K Ell
 erbee\, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanfor
 d University. She received her BSE in Electrical Engineering from Princeto
 n University\, her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University and 
 completed her postdoctoral training in Chemistry and Chemical Biology at H
 arvard University. During her career\, Dr. Ellerbee spent a short time as 
 an International Fellow at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore and as a Legi
 slative Assistant in the United States Senate through the AAAS Science and
  Technology Policy Fellows Program sponsored by the OSA and SPIE. She is a
  member of the OSA and SPIE and is the recipient of numerous awards\, incl
 uding the Air Force Young Investigator Award\, the NSF Career Award and th
 e Hellman Faculty Scholars Award.\nDr. Ellerbee directs the Stanford Biome
 dical Optics group\, whose mission is to develop and deploy novel tools fo
 r optical imaging at the microscale and nanoscale. Their applications of i
 nterest span clinical and basic science domains. The group also has a part
 icular interest in the development of low-cost\, portable technologies sui
 ted for use in poorly resourced environments. Building on their expertise 
 and experience with interferometry\, they aim to create innovative technol
 ogies that serve as integral complements to the toolkits of biologists and
  clinicians\, as well as use their own technologies to study various cellu
 lar phenomena relevant to disease.
