PAVIKONDA

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the computational optics lab at the Duke university led by Dr. Roarke Horstmeyer. My current research interests are in the areas of computational imaging, novel microscopy methods, low-cost microscopy, high-speed gigapixel imaging, micro-endoscopy and in vivo imaging. Other areas of expertise include multi-spectral imaging, extended depth-of-field imaging, compressive sensing and speckle imaging... My current research focuses on developing gigapixel imaging systems, Fourier ptychography and miniaturised microscopes for imaging rodent brain activity. In the past I have developed imaging systems using GRIN lenses for minimally invasive microscopy in rodents to enable longitudinal studies in the spinal cord of a rodent. These microscopes include a modified 2 photon microscope, custom built scanning wide field-of-view epi-fluorescence microscope and a miniaturised low-cost microscope.
