Dr Susan Thomas
ARC Grant-Funded Researcher A
School of Biological Sciences
College of Science
Susan obtained her PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. During her doctoral studies, she focused on aberration correction in microendoscopy imaging using metaoptics. She designed a hybrid miniature optical system that combines metaoptics with refractive optics. She implemented the lens system in a scanning fiber endoscopy optical system for confocal fluorescence imaging of biological tissues. Susan joined the Center of Light for Life as a postdoctoral researcher in 2026 and is investigating light sheet microscopy and imaging.
