SUMMARY:Seminar on Illuminating Life Sciences: Optical Engineering Technologies for Neuroscience and Biology
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIn this talk\, the speaker will introduce how optical technology can contribute to biological studies. Light has long been one of the most powerful tools for investigating living systems. Optical imaging techniques allow direct observation of dynamic cellular processes in vivo\, while optogenetics enables the precise modulation of neuronal circuits with high spatiotemporal resolution. \nIn Part One\, the speaker will present how digital micromirror device (DMD) equipped beam projection technology\, commonly used in movie theatres\, can be adapted for functional mapping of the mouse brain. In Part Two\, the speaker will describe how liquid crystal display (LCD) technology enables ultrafast optical recording of neuronal circuit activity. Finally\, in Part Three\, the speaker will outline my current and future research directions in immunophotonics\, driven by large-scale optical imaging\, deep learning–assisted automated cell tracking\, and skull transparency techniques for real-time visualisation of brain–immune system interactions. \nSpeaker\nDr. Seonghoon KIM\nSenior Research Scientist\,\nDepartment of Automation\,\nTsinghua University \nSpeaker’s Biography\nSeonghoon KIM is a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University. He received his Ph.D. from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in South Korea and subsequently completed postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School\, Seoul National University\, and Tsinghua University. His research background is exceptionally broad\, spanning materials science\, optics\, neuroscience\, computational science\, and immunology. For example\, he has studied the oxidation of nanocrystal metal films\, developed implantable biomaterials\, developed photodynamic therapy for cancer treatment\, applied optogenetics with fMRI for functional mapping of the mouse brain\, and developed an ultrafast optical imaging system for neuronal voltage imaging. Recently\, he has published several papers in leading journals\, including Neuron\, Nature Communications\, Advanced Materials\, and Nature Methods. His current research focuses on investigating in vivo biological dynamics—particularly in neuroscience and immunology— through large-scale optical imaging systems integrated with computational imaging techniques.\n\nAll are welcome!
