Short Resume
Research Interests
Prof. Shaked directs the Optical Microscopy, Nanoscopy and Interferometry (OMNI) research group. The group develops new experimental and analytical tools for 3D interferometric imaging of biological cells and thin elements that uniquely combine label-free wave-front sensing and imaging approaches, providing deep data by quantitative morphological and contents cellular imaging, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) by novel approaches for deep learning (‘Deep2Deep’).
Specific subjects of interest:
Technology Development
- Deep-learning platforms for biological cell classification [Papers]
- Deep-learning platforms for biological cell virtual staining [Papers]
- Rapid label-free wave-front imaging and sensing of biological cells [Papers]
- Portable interferometric modules for clinical use [Papers]
- 3D refractive-index live-cell tomography [Papers]
- Interferometric nanoscopy [Papers]
Clinical Applications
Achievements and Publications
Prof. Shaked is the author of more than 100 refereed journal papers and more than 170 conference papers, and several book chapters, patents, and an edited book on Biomedical Optical Phase Microscopy and Nanoscopy. He is the chair of the SPIE Label-Free Biomedical Imaging and Sensing (LBIS) annual conference in San Francisco, and a Fellow in the Optical Society of America (OSA) as well as in the SPIE. In 2015, he received the ERC starter grant.
