Simple Summary The current devices and methods for dosimetry of personalized
photodynamic therapy of tumors have several disadvantages. For instance, they are unable …

We describe a compact fiber-optic probe (2 mm outside diameter) that utilizes spatially-
resolved diffuse reflectance for tissue optical property recovery. Validation was performed in …

Simulations of high-energy density physics often need non-local thermodynamic equilibrium
opacity data. These data, however, are expensive to produce at relatively low fidelity. It is …

In diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, the retrieval of the optical properties of a target requires
the inversion of a measured reflectance spectrum. This is typically achieved through the use …

The emissivity and absorptivity of radiation by matter are fundamental physical parameters
required to adequately simulate inertial confinement fusion experiments. We present novel …

Improved tissue optical property extraction at short source- detector separations using neural
networks Page 1 Improved tissue optical property extraction at short sourcedetector separations …

This thesis addresses the challenges encountered in diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS)
regarding the accuracy and efficiency of existing forward and inverse models. To overcome …

Our work applies neutral networks to solving forward and inverse problems in diffuse
reflectance spectroscopy. Firstly, a neural network forward model is trained with Monte Carlo …

Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is one of the primary methods that is being pursued today
as a method for achieving sustained nuclear fusion for the purposes of energy generation …

The ability to measure microcirculatory parameters such as hemoglobin oxygen saturation is
important since it mirrors the microcirculatory state of the body. The microcirculation delivers …
