📚 My Research

I envision the next generation of image sensors as intelligent systems that not only capture photons but also process and interpret visual information directly at the sensor. My research focuses on Neuromorphic Single-Photon Imaging, combining SPAD image sensors, computational imaging, and neuromorphic computing to realize this vision.

My work spans the full imaging stack, including SPAD image sensor and ASIC design, FPGA-based neural processing, computational imaging, and machine learning. While my current research focuses on fluorescence lifetime imaging and dToF LiDAR, I am also interested in unconventional imaging modalities, including non-line-of-sight imaging and imaging through scattering media.
