Description: Topic: Imaging the cellular effects of directed energy using advanced microscopy
Speaker: Dr. Zachary A. Steelman, Research Biomedical Engineer
711th Human Performance Wing
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)
Joint Base San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston, TX.
Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room
Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A

Meeting ID: 971 7573 1135
Passcode: 806238
Abstract:
Directed energy - including lasers, pulsed electric fields, free-field microwaves, and radiofrequency radiation's induce unique biological effects which can be difficult to quantify. My talk will present an overview of advanced optical imaging systems, developed within the Bioeffects Division of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), which help to visualize and quantify the impacts of directed energy exposure at the cellular level. Imaging techniques include quantitative phase imaging (QPI), Brillouin spectroscopy, custom 3D-printed fluorescence microscopy, and streak- and strobe-photography for ultrafast imaging. System design and applications for understanding mechanisms of directed energy-induced cellular damage are discussed.
Biography:
Dr. Zachary A. Steelman is a Research Biomedical Engineer at the 711th Human Performance Wing, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Joint Base San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston, TX. Dr. Steelman completed his PhD in Biomedical Engineering, as well as a Master's Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, at Duke University in 2020. After a brief postdoc with the National Research Council (NRC), Dr. Steelman joined AFRL in 2022. Dr. Steelman's work focuses on designing advanced optical imaging systems to characterize the biological effects of directed energy exposure. He is the author of 30 scientific journal articles and has been recognized with numerous national and international awards.
The Seminar is open to the public free of charge.
