Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCharles Camp is an interdisciplinary optical scientist and electrical engineer with 11 years of experience leading development of advanced label-free chemical imaging and quantum-enhanced microscopy for biology and medicine. As a project leader at NIST he tackles metrological challenges using nonlinear and quantum optical spectroscopy, having developed the world’s fastest BCARS microscope and novel BCARS/MCARS flow-cytometry systems. He couples hands-on instrument design with software: building hyperspectral image processing, visualization tools, and physics-aware machine learning models that make complex hyperspectral data interpretable. His work bridges fundamental photonics research and practical clinical/biological applications, enabling functional imaging of cells and tissues without labels. Based in Bethesda, MD, he has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Georgia Tech and a track record of translating optics innovation into institutional core technologies. An often-overlooked strength is his ability to mentor interdisciplinary teams and secure cross-disciplinary collaborations that move prototypes toward real-world measurement standards.
