David Sampson is Emeritus Professor at the University of Surrey and based in Perth, Western Australia. His overarching research interests are in the science and applications of light in medicine and biology, biomedical optics, and biophotonics. He is an authority in optical coherence tomography (OCT), with main interests in the microscope-in-a-needle (which targets surgical and biopsy guidance, for which he was awarded the IEEE Distinguished Lecturer Award and several other prizes), optical elastography (the micro-scale imaging of the mechanical properties of tissue), polarization-sensitive OCT and OCT angiography. His main application domains have been breast cancer, respiratory disease, and skin cancer. He is a fellow of AIMBE, IEEE, Optica, and SPIE. See less
