Dr David Li is a Senior Lecturer in Biophotonics at the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences, at the University of Strathclyde. His talk will focus on the latest developments of SPAD arrays and their applications in life sciences.

Abstract: Recent advances in CMOS technologies have allowed SPADs to be packed in a much larger and denser array. They can be applicable to monitor protein interaction networks in cells using flluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) techniques. For real-time applications, such as visualising neuronal activities or fast biophysical phenomena, it is desirable to have fast hardware embedded data compressors or processors that can deal with high throughput FLIM data.
