Overview
Dr. Feng is an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at UT Dallas, the Principal Investigator of the Biomedical Optical Imaging Laboratory, and a NIH-FIRST scholar.
Her research centers on developing advanced optical techniques for tissue structural and functional imaging. She is dedicated to developing safe, painless, and precise optical diagnostic tools to better understand, detect, and treat diseases.
Dr. Feng has demonstrated excellence in the field of optical diagnostic imaging. She completed her postdoctoral training at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where she developed novel optical coherence elastography (OCE) techniques for the in vivo diagnosis of corneal and skin biomechanics.
During her PhD studies at UT Austin, she advanced the clinical translation of Raman spectroscopy for skin cancer diagnosis. Her lab aims to capture the structural, biomechanical, and chemical information of tissues, integrate machine learning, and accelerate the translation of these techniques from bench to bedside.
