Research Interests

Alberto Bilenca’s research interests lie in the intersection of physics, engineering and the life sciences. His research activities are currently focused mainly on the following subjects: fluorescence coherence tomography (FCT), bioimaging and biosensing at the nanoscale, optical coherence-gated probing for quantitative measurements in biological settings, information-theoretic based design of biophotonic imaging systems, and quantitative speckle imaging for medical diagnostic applications.
