Spectral imaging of the retina enables non-invasive mapping of retinal chemicals; such as oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin; that are of great interest in understanding eye metabolic processes and for the detection and screening for retinal disease.
Imaging Concepts Group
We conduct theoretical and experimental research into imaging science and techniques and their application at wavelengths from the visible to mm-wave. The group has active research projects in computational imaging, spectral imaging and their application in fields ranging from remote sensing to biomedical and retinal imaging.
The Imaging Concepts Group currently has several vacancies for fully funded PhD/EngD studentships, starting October 2013. Full project details can be found here: PhD adverts.
These PhD/EngD opportunities are also avertised on findaphd.com (see links below):
The group moved to Glasgow from Heriot-Watt University in January 2012. Its consists of the leader, Prof Andy Harvey and typically three post doctoral researchers and five doctoral students. Research is conducted in close collaboration with academic, clinical and industrial partners, including AWE, DSTL, Edinburgh Instruments, Optos, QinetiQ, Qioptiq, Selex, STMicroelectronics, Thales, South Glos. NHST, Panum Institute (Copenhagen) and the Universities of Barcelona, Durham, Nottingham and Reykjavik. Research is funded by the Research Councils, NHS, TSB and a range of industrial sources.

Computational Imaging
We are developing new approaches to imaging in which computational image recovery and novel optical systems work in unison to enable new imaging capabilities
-
Spectral Imaging
We have developed a range of new spectral imaging techniques that are enabling time-resolved spectral and hyperspectral imaging for real-world applications for the first time.
