Research Interests:

SAPNA A. SHROFF is a graduate student working toward her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester, advised by Professor James R. Fienup at the Institute of Optics and Professor David R. Williams at the Center for Visual Science. She has an M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Rochester, 2005 and a B.E. in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering from Mumbai University, 2003.

Her primary areas of interest are imaging and image processing. Her thesis involves superresolved imaging of the human retina in vivo using structured illumination. Her research encompasses theoretical, experimental and post-processing aspects involved in obtaining lateral superresolution and axial sectioning using structured illumination. Her work includes ophthalmological imaging using adaptive optics flood-illuminated and scanning-confocal retinal imaging systems as well as imaging moving and in vivo objects with a microscope.
