Diseño de un proyector volumétrico para estimulación optogenética
Estamos desarrollando un nuevo proyector volumétrico para crear patrones de luz en 3D para la estimulación optogenética de neuronas. A diferencia de los métodos existentes, nuestro proyector utilizará un dispositivo de microespejos y una cavidad óptica multiplano para enfocar la luz a múltiples profundidades dentro del tejido cerebral. Este proyecto se centrará en el diseño teórico y el modelado del sistema óptico, analizando patrones de difracción y diseñando componentes para optimizar el rendimiento del proyector. Experiencia en diseño óptico, programación y modelado matemático es bienvenida pero no necesaria.

Volumetric Microscope for Optical Neurophysiology
We are developing a new class of volumetric microscope for fast, localized optical neurophysiology of the entire live zebrafish brain. Unlike existing 3D imaging methods that sacrifice sensitivity, cellular resolution, or frame rate, our novel approach to volumetric recording utilizes multi-focal virtual image formation in a single camera using readily available commercial components. This project will focus on implementing a prototype imaging device that employs an optical cavity and lenses to project an array of virtual images onto a camera. Tasks will include building the optomechanical system, performing component alignment, and conducting experimental testing. Experience in hardware projects, optical design, and electronics is welcome but not essential.

Design of a volumetric projector for optogenetic stimulation
We are developing a new volumetric projector to create 3D patterns of light for optogenetic stimulation of neurons. Unlike existing methods, our projector will use a micromirror device and a multi-plane optical cavity to focus light at multiple depths within brain tissue. This project will focus on the theoretical design and modeling of the optical system, analyzing diffraction patterns and designing components to optimize projector performance. Experience in optical design, programming, and mathematical modeling is welcome but not required.

Electromagnetic simulations of radiotelescopes
The cosmological experiments to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation require and exquisite control of the systematic effects introduced by the electromagnetic response of the telescopes. Our research group directly collaborates with several of the main CMB experiments installed in Chile, contributing with the characterization and control of their optical systematic effects. In this IPRE, the student will develop electromagnetic simulations of the optical response of these telescopes, studying their systematic effects and imperfections, significantly contributing the the scientific studies performed by these experiments.
