Marcus Larsson is a Senior Associate Professor and the Deputy Head at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Linköping University. His research focuses on new optical techniques for quantitative imaging of microcirculatory blood flow and blood saturation. He works on multimodal optical imaging of microcirculation, developing new techniques to quantify blood perfusion and saturation. His methodologies include analyzing spectroscopic data and using lased Doppler-based techniques alongside advanced photon propagation models. His research also features Monte Carlo simulations and multi-dimensional optimization algorithms that aim for computational speed-up. Larsson examines the dynamics of red blood cells using Doppler effects from light backscattered by laser-illuminated tissues, allowing for analyses of spatial and temporal variations in laser speckle patterns. He is dedicated to improving hardware and mathematical models for more precise quantitative estimations from single-point measurements and images, leveraging novel camera setups for high-frame-rate image acquisition. Furthermore, he emphasizes comprehensive assessments of microcirculation through techniques such as white light spectroscopy, focusing on unique spectral properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. Larsson also engages in undergraduate teaching, particularly in project courses rooted in the CDIO approach, and collaborates with PhD students on various research initiatives.
