*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: High-Resolution, High-Throughput, and Machine-Intelligent Single-Cell Imaging with Microfluidic Fourier Light-Field Microscopy (μ-FLFM)
Abstract: Observation and interrogation of cellular structures and functions at a high spatiotemporal resolution and throughput have been playing a significant role in comprehending cell physiology, development, and pathology. Recent years have witnessed the emergence of advanced imaging techniques, which have revolutionized a wide range of single-cell studies. Nevertheless, there has been a persistent need of new imaging technology to accommodate to the bloom of biological discoveries. Here, the Ph.D. Candidate proposes to develop a microfluidic Fourier Light-Field Microscopy (μ-FLFM) system, enhanced by deep learning, for high-resolution, high-throughput volumetric cell imaging. Built upon the Candidate’s prior training and accomplishments, the objectives of the project are to establish a PSF-engineering strategy for depth-extended high-resolution volumetric imaging with wavefront modulation and aperture partitioning, apply optofluidics to the imaging system for high-throughput high-resolution volumetric imaging, and enhance the optofluidic imaging capability of the system with deep learning. The Candidate anticipates this innovative imaging system to provide a multiplexed methodology for investigating subcellular anatomy, function and cell-to-cell variability, paving a promising pathway for broad single-cell investigations and technological breakthroughs.
