Brian Vohnsen
Brian Vohnsen

Brian Vohnsen is an Associate Professor of Physics at UCD[1] in Dublin, Ireland specializing in optics. He is head of the Advanced Optical Imaging Group which he founded in 2008.[2][3] He has received recognition for his ability to connect the field of biomedical optics and nano-optics.[4] In 2021 he became a fellow of Optica for significant contributions to vision science, including photoreceptor optics and high resolution retinal imaging.[5]

Early life and education

Brian Vohnsen, born in Aarhus Denmark studied Engineering at Aalborg University before transferring into the field of Optics.[5] In 1994 he graduated with a Masters of Science in Optical Engineering and Laser Technology before going on to complete a PhD in Optical Physics at the same university in 1998.[1] He went on to become an Assistant Professor at Aalborg University for 3 years after completing his PhD, before moving to Spain after being awarded a Marie-Curie Fellowship[5] where he worked as a researcher in Universidad de Murcia[3] alongside Pablo Artal for 7 years (2001 - 2008). During this time he was also awarded a Ramon y Cajal fellowship.[3] In 2008 he moved to Ireland in search of further research opportunities and started working in University College Dublin where he still works today. During his travels Brian has gained Fluency / Professional Working Proficiency in Danish, English, German and Spanish.[1]

Professional biography

Vohnsen did his PhD in the area of nano-photonics and near-field optics at Aalborg University under Sergey I. Bozhevolnyi.[6] He did a postdoctoral fellowship at Universidad de Murcia funded by a Marie-Curie Fellowship where he worked on topics such as Evanescent field and directional imaging including a 2001 research paper on visualizing evanescent waves ("Direct visualization of evanescent optical waves")[7] and imaging of retinal cone mosaic ("Directional imaging of the retinal cone mosaic").[8]

In 2008 Vohnsen came to Ireland as a Science Foundation Ireland Stokes awardee and created a new MSc. programme in NanoBio Science[3][9] while also exploring advanced optical techniques centered on high-resolution optical images.[10] Lately, he has pioneered new exploration of the Stiles-Crawford effect in relation to vision science[11] and myopia.[12]
