I worked in the medical applications group. My activities focused both on
numeral simulation and experiments.
Computer simulations for laser tissue interaction: shockwaves, bubble
oscillations, tissue damage, propagation in highly scattering media.
I researched the possibility of ultrashort pulse laser surgery through highly
scattering media such as skin and sclera. The goal was to develop new glacoma
surgeries.
In my spare time I made movies of Ultrashort Pulse Propagation. These movies
show linear dispersion self-phase modulation of the electric field of
pulses.
