Thomas O'Sullivan

Research Interests

Professor O’Sullivan is engaged in translational research involving the development and application of noninvasive optical imaging technologies. Uniting the principles of optical spectroscopy, semiconductor physics, microfabrication, and signal processing with human physiology and metabolism, the mission of his lab is to create the next generation of noninvasive medical imaging sensors and instrumentation. In particular, Professor O’Sullivan is advancing diffuse optical spectroscopy and imaging, which allows for quantitative measurements of tissue architecture and metabolic function.

Professor O'Sullivan is also a faculty member in Notre Dame's interdisciplinary Bioengineering PhD program.
