Large field-of-view non-invasive imaging through scattering layers using fluctuating random illumination
During my stay in Paris, one of the topics I have been working on is related to the problem of imaging objects hidden by scattering media. While seeing stuff through transparent materials is quite easy, the thing becomes much more complicated when light gets randomly deviated in all directions. This might seem quite a particular…

Additive manufacturing for the development of optical/photonic systems and components
Earlier this year, I was at Photonics Europe 2022 in Strasbourg. I had a lot of fun with many talks, but there was one topic that really piqued my interest: additive manufacturing. I have always been interested in 3D printing, and I know from experience how useful they can be: printing mechanical pieces in the…

Sentient AI’s, animal architecture, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#24)
Back after a wonderful (but short) break. The RHCP delivered (it was my favourite concert from them so far), and food was as amazing as usual. Paris is basically on fire right now (35 ºC while I am writing this, and seems like tomorrow we might reach 40 ºC), so I have just the amount…

This is Spinal Tap, the invisible killer, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#20)
Busy week at the lab, but things are going nicely. Heat wave going strong, with temperatures around 30 ºC in Paris for the whole week (quite high for this time of the year). Still, some interesting stuff to share. Let’s go: These go to 11 It seems like my favourite rockumentary will have a sequel…
