BIOP Graduate School
Partners
Informatics and Mathematical Modelling, Technical University of Denmark
Summary of activities
IMM conducts research and teaching in computer science and information processing, focusing on applications in the engineering sciences. The relation to real-life problems is essential.
Computer-based mathematical models play an increasingly important part in engineering, in industrial production and in the hospital sector. The Department endeavors to develop new improved methods for processing the ever-increasing amount of information.
The department is divided into a computer science and a mathematical modelling division. The BIOP graduate school is connected to the image analysis and computer graphics group in the mathematical modelling division. This group consists of 1 full professor, 5 associate professors, 1 and approx. 15 Ph.D. students and post docs. The group activities fall into four categories, biomedical image analysis, industrial image analysis, remote sensing, and computer graphics.
Biomedical engineering is a focus area for DTU and approximately half the Ph.D. projects of the group currently fall within this field. The research in biomedical image analysis is characterized by a high degree of external collaboration. The group has reserach collaboration with the Copenhagen University Hospital (Rigshospitalet), Hvidovre Hospital, Herlev Hospital, Gentofte Hospital, and Frederiksund Hospital. Currently a major research project (Signal and Image analysis in Telemedicine (SITE)) is run in collaboration with the Digital signal processing group at IMM.

Summary of activities
The main expertise of the optics group is within the design of lasers and nonlinear frequency conversion of laser light. We have ongoing projects on special laser designs concerning both c.w. and pulsed systems. These lasers can be used directly or as pump sources for various nonlinear processes such as second harmonic generation and optical parametric oscillation or sum-frequency generation.
In addition to collaboration with partners in the BIOP Graduate School, we also collaborate with private companies, other research centers and foreign universities.
Our main interest in biomedical optics is the development of tailored light sources for diagnostic and treatment, such as
- Raman spectroscopy (in the visible and near infrared spectral region)
- One and two photon photodynamic processes (in the UV and visible)
- Narrow line width illumination (in the visible and near infrared spectral region)

Summary of activities
DTU Fotonik has more than 160 staff members including 60 Ph.D. students and a technical/administrative support unit of 10 people. DTU Fotonik graduates approximately 15 Ph.D. students, and 50 M.Sc. students every year, and DTU Fotonik has extensive collaboration with domestic as well as international organizations and companies.
Biomedical optics is an interdisciplinary research field thus linking many ongoing research projects within our department. For example, current activities encompass diverse areas such as development of high-power diode lasers, dynamic laser tweezer systems, and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Currently, permanent staff, post docs, PhD students and under-graduate students are part of these activities at DTU Fotonik. At the national level, DTU Fotonik collaborates with Danish hospitals, and at the international level, partners from Europe and the US participate in the research activities.
List of current research areas and projects
- Bio-sensing: Micro-interferometric backscatter detection units
- Diode laser systems for photodynamic therapy
- Dynamic multiple-beam optical tweezers
- Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy on biological samples
- Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy
- Optical coherence tomography, including modeling, experimental, clinical and image processing
