Rami T. ElAfandy

Rami ElAfandy obtained a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering under the supervision of Professor Boon Ooi at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). His work was related to studying the physical properties (optical, electrical and thermal) of flexible gallium nitride (GaN) nanomembranes and engineering these properties for biological and energy applications. He developed thermal biosensors for living cells and successfully measured and differentiated between different cancer cells based on their thermal transport properties. He also worked on increasing hydrogen photo

Carlo Liberale

Research Associate Professor, Bioscience
Carlo Liberale is an Research Associate Professor of Bioscience (B) and affiliated with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Program (ECE), and Principal Investigator of the Vibra Lab. Liberale's research interests are focused on developing and applying label-free chemical imaging techniques based on vibrational spectroscopy (Infrared and Raman micro-spectroscopy) and multi-photon processes (Coherent Raman Microscopy, SHG). One of the main aims of this research activity is to unveil specific bio-chemical signatures of cancer stem cells, with a particular focus on understanding the
