Characterizing optical heterogeneity in brain tumors via small‑angle light scattering
The project uses a light‑scattering technique to study how brain tumor tissue differs from healthy tissue. The goal is to help predict how heat spreads during a laser treatment for glioblastoma. Students will help measure light scattering and compare tumor and normal samples.
