Published in @OpticaPubsGroup , during her PhD @HeriotWattUni , working applying advanced photonics to healthcare with @uCare_EPSRC and others.

Excited to see this now published by Caitlin Tye , out now in BioMedical Optics Express (Optica). Raman through a tiny off the shelf fibre, enable by photon counting tech doi.org/10.1364/BOE.56… Some notes on why I am excited about this publication, here: tanner-lab.org/2025/07/01/ram…

Nip along to Nottingham on Friday 13th June to join us @IOPMED @IOPOpticalGroup @PhysicsNews in discussing optics for clinical practice, with views from academics developing them and medical practitioners using them in the clinic. Info: iop.eventsair.com/ocp2025/Regist… by: Today - 9th

It was great to be involved in this event and be invited to (badly) express some of my opinions - thinking about bridging the gap between emerging technologies and real world applicaitons.... We in @IOPMED love pushing for more physics to reach healthcare.

For anyone that wants to know: (yes I don't post much of interest anyway.... but I do enjoy lurking) @tannerlab.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/tanner… Also easy to find on linkedIn for even drier feeds.

@ARC_QuantumTech @woolger13 @CercaMagnetics @ScotFundCouncil @SINAPSECENTRE @IOPPublishing @anchored_in @a_lyons2 @Tech_Scot @QuantIC_QTHub Looking like this is going to be a great event, hoping we at @IOPMED can help link in the medical physics community.

Great to see this announced and lucky to be involved in it. The MicroTex hub gives us a real opportunity for impactful work over the coming years.

💡 New exciting positions opening in the Clinical Microfluidics lab! ✨ 1 x PhD studentship in Technologies for circulating tumour DNA preparation 1 x Post-doctoral position in microfluidic and lab automation Links to adverts in the thread! Please RT 🙏💙

@ARC_QuantumTech @MilesPadgett @a_lyons2 @ScotFundCouncil @Tech_Scot @DrTerryQuinn @PhysicsNews @SINAPSECENTRE @brainhealtharc @IOPMED and IOPqBIG are happy to be supporting this. Shoudl be great!

@IOPOpticalGroup @IOPMED @iop_conferences @dynafluors Here is András presenting in Italy (ISSW) instead, but it's just not as fun as #Photon24 ...

@IOPOpticalGroup @IOPMED @iop_conferences @dynafluors And András Kufcsák presented our translation too clinic of a time resolved medical device - and I forgot to take a photo!

Another excellent #Photon24 with the @IOPOpticalGroup @IOPMED @iop_conferences and a great time had in conversations with the community. Proud of my group for the work they presented, and we did enjoy the very large sparkly signs....

The Single Photon Workshop abstract deadline has been extended to 26th July. So far, there has been a huge response to the conference. See web-site for more details on abstract submission and confirmed invited speakers. @QCommHub @QuantIC_QTHub @HWU_Physics

This is disturbing.

Now Caitlin is applying similar techniques to medical sensing challenges. Also fun....

@OpticaPubsGroup @uCare_EPSRC @HWU_Physics @QuantumSensors As these types of detectors become industrially produced (for LIDAR / self driving cars) I think it is interesting to see how we can apply them to these kind of alternate practical applications. But in the end - we did it for fun!

This out in @OpticaPubsGroup Opt. Express. Great work from Caitlin! opg.optica.org/oe/fulltext.cf… The power of many single photon detectors in a CMOS SPAD array to spectrally multiplex, then measure temperature at all points on a fibre using time. With @uCare_EPSRC and @HWU_Physics
