Dr. Carp’s research group focuses on the development and clinical translation of light-based non-invasive sensing and imaging methods for disease detection and management. Major thrusts include the use of near-infrared spectroscopy and tomography as well as diffuse correlation spectroscopy to advance brain health monitoring and breast cancer management. Through collaborations with clinicians at MGH and beyond, he and his group are able to test their devices and data processing algorithms in the intended use setting to guide our technology development towards meaningful clinical integration.
