  • Characterization of Human Scalp Hairs by Optical Low-Coherence Reflectometry
    524 OPTICS LETTERS / Vol. 20, No. 6 / March 15, 1995 Characterization of human scalp hairs by optical low-coherence reflectometry X. J. Wang and T. E. Milner Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California 92715 R. P. Dhond Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri 63130 W. V. Sorin and S. A. Newton Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Palo Alto, California 94303 J. S. Nelson Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic, Departments of Surgery and Dermatology, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California 92715 Received September 19, 1994 Optical low-coherence reflectometry is used to investigate the internal structure and optical properties of human scalp hair. Regardless of hair color, the refractive index of the cortical region remains within the range of 1.56±1.59. The amplitude of the backscattered infrared light coupled into different-colored hair confirms the relative melanin content. Discontinuities in the refractive index permit identification of distinct structural layers within the hair shaft. Photonics industries today use optical low-coherence nates in dark-colored hair. Pheomelanic pigment reflectometry (OLCR) to characterize various ma- is dominant in lighter-colored hair, particularly red terials.

  • COSI Cancer Biophotonics - Tenured and Tenure Track Faculty Position 2018-2019
    COSI Cancer Biophotonics - Tenured and Tenure Track Faculty Position 2018-2019 The Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic (BLIMC) in partnership with the Schools of Engineering and Medicine at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) is seeking applicants for two (tenured/tenure-track) faculty positions in the field of cancer biophotonics, with an expected start date of July 1, 2019. One faculty position is at the Associate Professor level and the other is at the Assistant Professor level. Qualified applicants at other levels will also be considered. The ideal candidate should have research expertise in the development of advanced optics and photonics technologies and their application to problems in cancer biology and medicine. These positions fall under the UCI's high impact program entitled "Convergence Optical Sciences Initiative (COSI)". COSI is a campus priority area that cuts across the fields of Physical Science, Engineering, Biology and Medicine. Activities are expected to lead to the development of advanced light sources and related optics, photonics and computational technologies that drive new systems, devices, and discoveries. Faculty will be appointed in the Schools of Engineering and Medicine as appropriate with opportunities for joint appointments. Membership and access to space and resources in the UCI’s NCI-designated Chao Comprehensive Cancer Center (http://www.cancer.uci.edu) and in BLIMC will also be provided. BLIMC facilities include the David and Lucille Packard Clinic with operating and recovery rooms, optics and photonics research and imaging labs, an animal surgical suite, tissue culture/biochemistry facilities, a histopathology facility, and a photonics incubator for commercialization. Applicants should have a Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE THE UCI LIBRARIES ______________________________________________________________________________ To: 50th Anniversary Planning Committee From: Michelle Light, Head of Special Collections, Archives, and Digital Scholarship, with the 50th Anniversary Historical Documentation Subcommittee Date: January 11, 2012 Re: Proposal to Create an Online Archive of UCI’s History ______________________________________________________________________________ Proposal: In collaboration with the Historical Documentation Subcommittee,1 the UCI Libraries proposes the development of an online archive of UCI history to show UCI’s growth into one of the nation's top research universities in the past 50 years. The online archive will highlight the historical developments that have made UCI so special, focusing on UCI's pioneering intellectual contributions, key turning points, and unique directions (See Appendix II). The online archive will provide access to a rich assortment of historical documents, photographs, video, audio, and photographs that tell UCI’s story.2 Each historical item will be accompanied by a descriptive explanation to provide context and improve its findability. Historical sources will include: Over 10,000 historical photographs Over 150 oral histories with campus leaders, including o 100 oral histories previously conducted by Spence Olin and Sam McCulloch (See Appendix III) o 50 new oral histories (See Appendix IV) Over 100 hours of digitized films and videos (See Appendix V) Over 1,000 historical documents Submissions from the UCI community Audience: The online archive will reach two audiences in particular: It will surface digital assets that marketing and communications staff may employ to tell UCI’s history in various venues (e.g., for websites, publications, advertisements, TV spots, etc.) It will provide students and other researchers with access to primary source materials about UCI’s history (e.g., for classes, papers, articles, theses and dissertations, etc.).

    Office of Research 1 Office of Research Pramod Khargonekar, Vice Chancellor for Research The mission of the Office of Research (http://www.research.uci.edu) (OR) is to support and enhance the creative and scholarly activities of UCI researchers. OR provides central campus administrative support for UCI’s research programs. It includes Research Administration, University Laboratory Animal Resources (ULAR), Federal Relations, Administrative Operations and Planning, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor. Each of these units contributes to the overall objective of facilitating campus research activities. Additionally, the Office of Research oversees the operation of many research centers and institutes.

Berns as an interdisciplinary center for the development and application of optical technologies in biology and medicine. Since the opening in 1986, Beckman Laser Institute has grown to include 18 faculty and their 130 affiliated students, postdoctoral fellows, technical staff, and administrative support. BLI is one of five national Beckman Institutes supported by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation. BLI is dedicated to cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and the interface of physical science, engineering, and biology.
