About

Ana Doblas received her BS, Ms. and PhD degrees in Physics from the Universitat de València, Spain, in 2010, 2011 and 2015, respectively. After she finished her PhD work, she joined the Optical Coherence Imaging Laboratory under the supervision of Dr A. Oldenburg (Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of North Caroline in Chapel Hill, U.S.A.) where she did her 1-year Postdoc. From 2016 to 2023, she was at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Memphis (Memphis, Tennessee, U.S.A.). Firstly, as a Research Assistant Professor in the Computational Imaging Research Laboratory (CIRL) under the supervision of Dr. C. Preza, and since 2019 as an Assistant Professor and principal investigator of the Optical Imaging Research Laboratory (OIRL). Her current research interests are focused on optical engineering, computational optics and three-dimensional imaging with special interest in the design of novel microscopic imaging systems and their applications. Her final goal is to develop innovative optical imaging methods with some insights in image analysis tools to pursue cutting-edge research, advancing our understanding of unsolved biological questions. Since 2012, she is the author of 45 peer-reviewed scientific journals, her work has been presented at over ninety international conferences, and she is co-inventor of four US patents.
