Igor Meglinski
Igor Meglinski is a scientist studying the imaging of cells and biological tissues utilising polarised light, dynamic light scattering and computational imitation of light propagation within complex tissue-like scattering medium. He is the Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Biophotonics at Aston University and holds the Professor of Opto-Electronics and Biophotonics at Oulu University. Education and career 

Meglinski obtained his BSc/MSc in Laser Physics from the Saratov State University, and PhD degree in 1997, studying at the interface between Saratov State University and the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Professor Britton Chance, Professor Arjun Yodh and Professor Valery V. Tuchin. After a few years of postdoctoral research in the School of Physics at the University of Exeter, he became a Lecturer and Director of Biomedical Optical Diagnostics Laboratory in the School of Engineering at Cranfield University in 2001, and a Head of Bio-Photonics & Bio-Medical Optical Diagnostics in the School of Health of Cranfield University in 2007. In 2014, Meglinski returned back to Europe, heading the Opto-Electronic and Measurement Techniques Department at the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE) at the University of Oulu in Finland. Since 2019 he is Professor in Biomedical Engineering and Biophotonics in Aston University, working at the interface between School of Engineering & Applied Science and School of Life & Health Sciences. Meglinski's research includes the application of Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) for non-invasive monitoring of blood flow and superficial blood microcirculation in vivo, how to suppress the light scattering in human skin and other biological tissues by applying various osmotically active agents, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). He also studied applying Monte Carlo method for simulation of coherent effects of multiple scattering. He is a board member of the Engineering & Physical Sciences Section of The Royal Microscopical Society, and a member of editorial boards of Biomedical Optics Express, Sustainable Materials and Technologies, and Journal of Biomedical Photonics & Engineering.
