Biography
Professor Adrian Podoleanu began his career teaching at the Technical University
Bucharest, Romania. As an associate professor, he taught Physics, Optics and
optoelectronics and developed research on Lasers and fast optoelectronics. He was
awarded The Romanian Academy "Constantin Miculescu" prize for research in Lasers and
Nonlinear Optics. In January 1993 he joined the University of
Kent (UoK) as a Tempus Fellow and has been Research Associate since September 1993 where his
research interests focused on optical coherence tomography (OCT), subnanosecond dwell time
multichannel digital correlation, Faraday sensing and secure optical communications. He is been
working in the OCT field since joining the UoK, initially on distance measurements using low coherence
interferometry (Talbot bands) and then on imaging the eye and skin and on flow
characterisation. He contributed towards development of the en-face OCT imaging as a
new technology to complement the more conventional longitudinal OCT imaging and was
the first to generate dual OCT and confocal images of the retina. He was promoted to full
professor in Oct. 2004. He is co-author of 6 chapters in books on OCT, of
more than 100 journal papers, of more than 200 conference proceedings and of
21 patents (9 awarded). He is one of the topical editors of the
Applied Optics
(Optical Society of America) for the Biomedical Optics and Optical Technology divisions
and member in the editorial boards of
Research letters in Optics (Hindawi journals),
Advances in optoelectronics (Hindawi journals) and
Optoelectronics and Advanced Materials - Rapid Communications (National Institute of
Optoelectronics, Bucharest, Romania).
He is director of Optopod Ltd, a spin-out of the University of Kent involved in spectral OCT and a visiting professor in the New York Medical College.
