Piotr Kasprzycki PhD

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Physical Optics and Biophotonics Group led by Prof. M. Wojtkowski at the Institute of Physical Chemistry Polish Academy of Sciences. I joined this Group in 2019 after obtaining my Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Warsaw.

I specialize in biomedical imaging, polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography, quantitative micro-elastography, and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. These advanced techniques pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries in medicine.

Research groups

The research in our group can be seen as a perfect interplay between physics, biology and chemistry. We are focusing on developing imaging techniques and using them in many biological and chemical systems.

Ultrahigh resolution OCT

Some applications require finer imaging resolution. In optical coherence tomography (OCT), the transversal resolution is determined by imaging optics (often with working distance limitations), while axial resolution depends on the effective bandwidth of the light source. We developed a dual spectrometer spectral OCT system working with a broadband femtosecond laser as a source. The system […]
