Dr. Shaohua Pi is a distinguished researcher and innovator in optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology, specializing in its application to ophthalmology and other fields. With a strong foundation in electrical and optical engineering, Dr. Pi has made significant contributions to the advancement of imaging technologies for diagnosing and treating ocular diseases. His pioneering work, particularly in visible-light OCT (vis-OCT), has led to critical insights into neuronal cells, vascular health, and disease progression. Dr. Pi’s work extends beyond imaging technologies to include deep learning algorithms for reliable readouts. His overarching mission is to leverage OCT technology to improve patient outcomes by enabling earlier, more accurate diagnoses and developing new therapeutic strategies for ocular and neurovascular diseases. His collaborative research efforts aim to bridge engineering, biology, and medicine, offering transformative solutions in clinical practice.
Dr. Pi is a member of Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), and American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
