Our team celebrated halloween dressed as the characters of Inside Out 2. We also had an fNIRS themed pumpkin! 

October, 2024 - Quantum Biosensor

Nat_Mamadou_NRC.jpg

Our Quantum Biophotonics project was featured in the stories of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). This project leverages technologies previously developed for quantum communication and other quantum physics applications to develop a state-of-the-art bedisde neuromonitoring device. This research is a three-party collaboration between our lab (Dr. Mamadou Diop and Natalie Li), Dr. Duncan England (NRC), and Thomas Jennewein (U. Waterloo).
