A postdoctoral research fellowship/research associate position is immediately available in the Center for Ophthalmic
Optics and Lasers www.COOLLab.net, Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health & Science University.

The fellowship will focus on interdisciplinary project in the field of optical imaging and real time image processing.

Ph.D. in Optics, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computing Science or a related field is required.

Demonstrated excellence in one or more of the following areas is required:
expertise in Optical Coherence Tomography, Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope and Adaptive Optics,
optical/electrical system design,
prototyping and simulation,
data acquisition and system control/synchronization,
and C++/GPU programming for real-time processing.
Broad experience in optics, signal processing, and image processing are also desirable.

About C.O.O.L. LAB
Mission
The mission of the Center for Ophthalmic Optics and Lasers (COOL) is to conserve, improve and restore vision
through advances in laser and optical technology.

Description
The Center for Ophthalmic Optics and Lasers (COOL) at the Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health & Science
University is an interdisciplinary research center that focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of eye
diseases through advances in laser and optical technology. David Huang, MD, PhD, director of the COOL Lab, is a
co-inventor of optical coherence tomography (OCT), which has become the most frequently used ophthalmic imaging
procedure since 2003. The COOL Lab has pioneered many advances in ophthalmic OCT. In the anterior eye, COOL
Lab researchers developed methods to map and measure the cornea, anterior chamber, angle, and lens and
continues to lead the field in this area. This technology is now widely used to diagnose early keratoconus, narrowangle
glaucoma, ocular surface tumors, plan phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK), and calculate intraocular lens
power in patients with previous LASIK or other keratorefractive surgery. In the posterior segment, COOL Lab led the
multi-center Advanced Imaging for Glaucoma bioengineering partnership, which was responsible for developing
ganglion cell complex mapping for glaucoma evaluation, Doppler OCT to measure total retinal blood flow, and the
first clinical investigation using OCT angiography. COOL Lab researchers developed a very efficient OCT
angiography algorithm called “split-spectrum amplitude decorrelation angiography” (SSADA), which made the first
commercial clinical OCT angiography system possible.

COOL Lab researchers are actively improving OCT angiography and applying it to the evaluation and management of
age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, inherited retinal degenerations, and ocular tumors. On the
treatment side, the COOL lab is investigating the optimal technique for combining corneal collagen crosslinking and
PTK for the treatment of keratoconus and is developing a laser thermal conjunctivoplasty device provides a safe,
gentle, and fast healing procedure to treat conjunctivochalasis in an ophthalmologist’s office. The interdisciplinary
team is able to perform interdisciplinary research from developing hardware (ultrahigh-speed OCT, laser surgical
instrumentation), advancing signal and image processing algorithms, optimizing novel laser surgical techniques,
conducting pilot clinical studies, to organizing large multi-site clinical studies. The COOL Lab also supports the
Casey Reading Center with advanced OCT and OCT angiography reading software that can be used in a wide
variety of clinical studies in retinal and optic nerve diseases. 返回小木虫查看更多
