Dr Jiawen Li is an inventor and highly adaptable engineer leading the intravascular imaging program at the Institute of Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS). Her innovation has led to her being selected as Fellow of NHMRC, National Heart Foundation and L’Oréal-UNESCO. She has won numerous prestigious awards and honours (including Superstar of STEM, Australian Optical Society Early Career Researcher Prize, National Heart Foundation Innovation Award, Women in Innovation SA Award, InDaily's 40 Under 40 Award). She has also secured >$3 million research funding as the lead chief investigator (CIA).

Jiawen and her team are developing ultrathin, flexible, multimodal fibre-optic imaging probes that will enable cross-sectional visualisation of vascular arteries with high resolution, molecular contrast, and sensitivity that are not possible with any other existing technologies. This cutting-edge tool will underpin biological studies to help answer fundamental questions at cellular level of how plaques evolve, how they cause heart attacks, and how they respond to different treatment.

Available projects for PhD students in 2023 include:
1. Ultrathin 3D micro-printed imaging catheter (with opportunities to spend >=1 year in Stuttgart, Germany)
2. Serial imaging of molecular and microstructural changes in atherosclerosis (funded by NHMRC grants)
3. Neural-network-based Methods for Plaque Classification in Intravascular Optical Imaging

**World’s smallest imaging device has heart disease in focus**
**Channel 10 News** https://universityofadelaide.cmail20.com/t/d-l-cltdlil-trjruhudir-m/ Miniaturised endoscopes hold great potential for imaging delicate organs, but it is difficult to achieve high quality imaging with very small components. Dr Li and team used laser 3D microprinting to produce optical components just 125 micrometers in size, including a tiny prism that focuses and directs light, and corrects aberrations.

High-resolution optical imaging technologies have rapidly gained importance, and a range of antibody-specific fluorescent biomarkers have driven new insights in disease mechanisms. However, optical techniques degrade rapidly in solid tissue due to absorption and multiple scattering of the photons, limiting their imaging depth and largely restricting their use.

To enable real-time high-quality measurements deep in the body, Dr Li and her collaborators have been developing a suite of novel fibre-optic probes, including world's smallest 3D printed endoscope and world-first single-fibre-based probe that can simultaneously measure temperature and see deep inside the body.

We recently invented a world-first tiny fibre-optic probe that can simultaneously measure temperature and see deep inside the body. Combining optical imaging and sensing technologies into a single-fibre (size of human hair) will enable researchers to unravel fundamental biological processes in vivo in a minimal invasive way, which are not accessible using present approaches — Dr Li and team invented a **world-first single-fibre-based probe that can simultaneously measure temperature and see deep inside the body**. Combining optical imaging and biochemical/physical sensing technologies into a single fibre (size of human hair) will enable researchers to unravel fundamental biological processes *in vivo* in a minimal invasive way, which are not accessible using present approaches.
