Watch Introduction

Igor Meglinski obtained MSc in Laser Physics (1992) from the Saratov State University (Russia), and PhD degree in Biophysics/Physics (1997) at the interface between the Saratov State University and the University of Pennsylvania (USA), studying under the supervision of Professor Valery Tuchin and Professor Britton Chance (known as 'a father of modern biophysics and biomedical optics'). After a short period of research fellow in Electro-Optics Technology Centre at Tufts University (USA) and in School of Physics at the University of Exeter (UK), he became a Lecturer and Director of Laboratory of Biomedical Optical Diagnostics in School of Engineering at Cranfield University (UK) in 2001, and a Head of Bio-Photonics & Optical Diagnostics in the Cranfield’s School of Health in 2007. He has been invited by the University of Otago to develop Biophotonics research activities in New Zealand. Since 2009 he is a Head of Bio-Photonics and Biomedical Imaging at the Department of Physics, University of Otago (New Zealand). Since 2014 he is Professor and Head of the Opto-Electronics and Measurement Techniques Laboratory in the University of Oulu (Finland). Since 2019 he is Professor in Biomedical Engineering and Biophotonics at the School of Engineering & Applied Science and the School of Life & Health Sciences at Aston University (UK). His research interests lie at the interface between physics, biomedical engineering, medicine and life sciences, focusing on the development of new non-invasive imaging/diagnostic techniques and their application in medicine & biology, material sciences, pharmacy, food, environmental monitoring, and health care industries. He is author and co-author over 450 research papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, proceedings of international conferences and book chapters, one book and over 800 presentations at the major international conferences and symposia, including over 350 invited lectures, keynotes and plenary talks. He is the Node Leader in Biophotonics4Life Worldwide Consortium (BP4L), Senior Member of IEEE, Chartered Physicist (CPhys), Chartered Engineer (CEng), Fellow of Institute of Physics (London, UK), Fellow of Royal Microscopic Society (FRMS), Fellow of SPIE – the International Society for Optics and Photonics, and Fellow of OPTICA (fromely OSA). show More
