DESCRIPTION:Prof. Aydogan Ozcan\, UCLA University of California\, Los Ange
 les\, CA (USA)\nDISTINGUISHED LECTURE IN BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING(sandwiches
  served)Abstract:\nIn this presentation I will discuss some of the emergin
 g applications and the future opportunities/challenges created by the use 
 of mobile phones and other consumer electronics devices as well as their e
 mbedded components for the development of next-generation imaging\, sensin
 g\, diagnostics and measurement tools through computational photonics tech
 niques. The massive volume of mobile phone users\, which has now reached ~
 7 billion\, drives the rapid improvements of the hardware\, software and h
 igh-end imaging and sensing technologies embedded in our phones\, transfor
 ming the mobile phone into a cost-effective and yet extremely powerful pla
 tform to run e.g.\, biomedical tests and perform scientific measurements t
 hat would normally require advanced laboratory instruments. This rapidly e
 volving and continuing trend on the use of mobile phones and other emergin
 g consumer electronics devices including e.g.\, wearable computers\, in ad
 vanced imaging and sensing experiments might help us transform current pra
 ctices of medicine\, engineering and sciences through democratization of m
 easurement science and empowerment of citizen scientists\, educators and r
 esearchers in resource limited settings and developing countries.Bio:\nDr.
  Aydogan Ozcan received his Ph.D. degree at Stanford University Electrical
  Engineering Department. After a short post-doctoral fellowship at Stanfor
 d University\, he was appointed as a research faculty at Harvard Medical S
 chool\, Wellman Center for Photomedicine in 2006. Dr. Ozcan joined UCLA in
  the summer of 2007 as an Assistant Professor\, and was promoted to Associ
 ate and Full Professor ranks in 2011 and 2013\, respectively. He is curren
 tly the Chancellor’s Professor at UCLA and an HHMI Professor with the Ho
 ward Hughes Medical Institute\, leading the Bio- and Nano-Photonics Labora
 tory at UCLA Electrical Engineering and Bioengineering Departments\, and i
 s also the Associate Director of the California NanoSystems Institute (CNS
 I) at UCLA.
