About the speaker

Dr Amanda Foust

Dr Amanda Foust is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London, where she leads the Optical Neurophysiology Laboratory. She also serves as Deputy Director of Postgraduate Studies for the MRes programme. 

Her research lies at the cutting edge of neuroengineering, focusing on the development of optical and computational methods to visualize and manipulate electrical activity in living tissues. Notably, her team has advanced techniques that enable three-dimensional imaging of cellular membrane voltage, incorporating fast, multiplexed scanning methods, computational reconstruction, and approaches for simultaneous stimulation and recording - all optimized to combat light scattering and improve functional sensitivity.
