She will engineer two emerging modalities, light field and multispectral imaging into a compact device, and develop novel image reconstruction algorithm to produce and display high-dimensional images. The CME fellowship will support her to carry out proof-of-concept studies, start critical new collaborations within and outside the centre. She hopes the award will act as a stepping stone to enable future long-term fellowship and grants, thus to establish an independent research programme.
