9 Research Center for Optical Cardiovascular Diagnosis Professor Meir Nitzan R&D projects based on measurements and analysis of near infrared light transmitted through tissue, in order to develop innovative techniques for better clinical assessment of the cardiovascular system. The main projects are: 1. Accurate automatic measurement of systolic blood pressure, which is mainly important for hypertensive adults and hypotensive premature newborns. 2. Accurate measurement of oxygen saturation, which is mainly important for COVID-19 patients and premature newborns, treated by oxygen supplementation. 3. Assessment of perfusion to tissue, mainly important for management of foot disorders in diabetes. Advanced Laboratory of Electro-Optics (ALEO) Dr. Avi Karsenty https://www.aleo.solutions/ ALEO is part of the JCT Nanotechnology Research & Educational Center located on the Lev Campus, renewed and headed by Dr. Avi Karsenty. The complex of labs in the center include design, architecture, simulations, characterization and fabrication domains and activities (https://www.aleo.solutions/). ALEO's main purpose consists in the architecture, design, advanced simulations, characterization and testing of Silicon Photonics Devices and Modules, as well as Photonics Integrated Circuits (PIC). These silicon-based nanoscale smart electro-optics coupled devices, are developed towards their smooth integration in applications such as 1) optical communication in computers, 2) quantum computing, 3) space micro-gravity measurements, and 4) advanced instrumentation. The Team consists of 20 Electro-Optics students (PhD, MSc, BSc and participants of the Excellence program) and experienced collaborators working in parallel in industry (Rafael, Elbit, Elisra, Cielo, Lumus) and academia (HUJI, BIU, Technion). Together with the ALEO team, Dr. Karsenty develops smart silicon photonics devices (photoactivated detectors, thermo-activated detectors, sensors, light emitting transistors, enhanced capacitors, silicon waveguides, nano-pixels, nano-amplifiers, imagers, quantum-based structures, and more), and shares common research with famous institutes in the US (MIT, RIT, NIST, University of Rochester, AIM Photonics, Suny Polytechnic Institute), Europe (Grenoble INP Phelma, CSIC, INL), Israel (BIU, HUJI) and with Industrial Partners (Nanonics, Accubeat). During the last 6 years, the team published over 70 articles in top journals, and actively participated in Photonics International Conferences and in Invited Seminars.
