On July 26, 2008 the thirty young women participating in the 2008 CURIE Academy presented their research findings to their parents as well as Cornell faculty, staff, and students.  Each of the following presentations explores different but related fundamental aspects of using optics in Biomedical Engineering to study and measure blood flow in live organisms.  

Presentation One: Fluorescence Microscopy

Presentation Two: Speckle Imaging Optics

Presentation Three: Measuring Oxygen Consumption & Blood Flow Changes Using NIRS

Presentation Four: Why Your Finger Turns Blue - Intrinsic Imaging

Presentation Five: Channel Obstruction in a Microfluidic Device

Presentation Six: Orthogonal Polarization Imaging of Blood Flow in Tissue
