Irving J. Bigio, PhD
Professor, Biomedical Engineering
Biography
Dr. Irving Bigio has been a professor of Biomedical Engineering, and Electrical & Computer Engineering, at Boston University for the past 22 years. His is primarily interested in using biomedical optics to develop clinical and research applications of optical technologies. His lab was founded in 2001 and focuses on clinical diagnostics based on elastic scattering spectroscopy, on laboratory applications to monitor sub-cellular dynamics in vitro, and novel methods to image neuronal activation patterns in label-free neural tissues. He has mentored numerous graduate and undergraduate students and in 2010 he received a Distinguished Lecturer Award from the Boston University College of Engineering.
