Steven Graham Adie joined Cornell University as an Associate Professor in 2013 after completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His postdoctoral research focused on optical coherence tomography (OCT) with an emphasis on optimizing resolution and enabling dynamic optical coherence elastography (OCE) for imaging mechanical properties of tissues. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Western Australia and has previous experience in the R&D division of a startup company that developed solid-state laser systems for LASIK eye surgery. His research program centers on OCT-based imaging for both basic science investigations and clinical applications, notably in cancer diagnostics. Key research interests include the development of imaging modalities that facilitate label-free, non-invasive visualization of tissue structures, leveraging the advantages of OCT and OCE. Through multidisciplinary collaborations, he aims to enhance the understanding of disease progression and the role of mechanical properties in carcinogenesis. Adie's work has led to the design of portable imaging systems that translate lab research into clinical settings, enhancing the detection and monitoring of disease through innovative imaging solutions.
