Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManish Kumar is an Assistant Professor at IIT Delhi leading the Bio-Imaging and Optical Systems (BIOS) lab, with eight years of interdisciplinary experience spanning optics, microscopy, instrumentation and neurobiology. He develops advanced light-sheet and imaging systems—work grounded in a physics and applied optics background (M.Tech, IIT Delhi) and postdoctoral research at Northwestern and University of Michigan on neuronal imaging and imaging through scattering media. His research blends hands-on microfabrication of photonic structures, computational simulation (FDTD, MATLAB), and instrument design to push biological imaging capabilities. Comfortable navigating physics, EECS and neurobiology, he translates foundational photonics ideas into practical microscopes and sensors used for live neural imaging. An uncommon strength is his track record of moving from device-level photonic fabrication to system-level optical instruments, enabling both method innovation and biological application.
