Welcome to the Kallepalli Lab
We work at the interface of novel imaging techniques, biophotonics and optics, and image analysis. We are constantly intrigued by the world around us and the medical problems awaiting novel solutions. Through active collaboration and an inclusive community, we are keen on unravelling new information from light-matter interactions.
Our lab, within the Optics Group (School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow) works on various research projects, from hyperspectral image analysis to vasculature imaging, microscopes and microscopes and microscopy.
If you are curious, keen to work with us or up for a coffee and a chat, get in touch!
