Biography

Johannes Johansson is an Associate Professor at Linköping University specializing in optical techniques for measuring microvascular blood flow. His research focuses on developing laser speckle methods to achieve 3D measurements with depth resolution, critical for diagnosing burn wounds and other medical conditions. Johansson studies laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) to facilitate fast and accurate diagnostics in dermatological applications, particularly for children. He has extensively worked on finite element method (FEM) simulations of deep brain stimulation (DBS), a technique used to treat neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease by modulating neural activity. His previous postdoctoral research at the ICFO – Institute of Photonic Sciences in Spain allowed him to investigate the effects of blood volume, oxygen saturation, and flow using advanced optical methods. His academic contributions encompass several areas within medical imaging and optics, including the development of light transport models and clinical studies related to spectroscopy and brain electrode implantation. He is also focused on clinical applications of diffuse optical spectroscopy in various cases, such as renal cell carcinoma, enhancing the understanding of blood flow dynamics and tissue oxygenation.
