Biography

Guanghan Meng is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Optometry at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on vision science-driven multimodal computational imaging, particularly in the context of developing innovative imaging methods to study the eye and brain. His work involves the use of interdisciplinary approaches to create cutting-edge imaging technologies that provide insights into diseases such as myopia, glaucoma, and neurodegenerative disorders. Meng's primary research areas include label-free imaging of human ocular structures, fluorescence microscopy for small-animal retinal brain imaging, and machine learning-enhanced multimodal imaging. He explores the application of label-free modalities that minimize chemical phototoxicity in clinical imaging, as well as the challenges of bridging preclinical and clinical studies using artificial intelligence to enhance imaging techniques. His contributions are essential to understanding the pathology of ocular and brain disorders, aiming to translate findings from animal models to human applications.
