Welcome to the PhotoMedicine Lab in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Our team is working on cutting-edge research in biomedical optics and biophotonics, including non-invasive non-contact optical imaging methods, micro-endoscopy designs, handheld and portable optical imaging techniques, design and fabrication of nano-structured all-optical ultrasound sensors and novel deep optical imaging tomography methods. We pursue applications in Ophthalmology, Oncology, Dermatology, Neurology, Cardiology, Dentistry, Pharmaceutical and Pre-clinical research. Our group constantly strive to maintain an extremely dynamic, respectful, intellectual, fun, and creative environment.
We are passionate about our research and enjoy working together as a team. Our goal is to make a difference and contribute to our society. We understand that this requires hard work, knowledge, creativity, teamwork, efficiency, honesty, and focus. We would like to bring talents and good ideas together. We strongly value the importance of interdisciplinary research, collaboration and ethics.
Our research philosophy is transitional research from bench to the bedside. Therefore, we are always looking to collaborate with talented students, faculties, researchers, clinicians and industry.

Principal investigator:
Dr. Parsin Haji Reza joined the University of Waterloo in April 2018 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Systems Design Engineering, after completing his doctoral and postdoctoral research at the University of Alberta and completing an undergraduate degree in optical engineering. As a graduate student, Dr. Haji Reza has published 21 papers in high impact, peer-reviewed journals (14 first-author including Nature's light science and applications and Optica), two book chapters about optical systems and holds five patents. Also, he has contributed to 35 abstracts and conference proceedings related to optics and biomedical optics. Dr. Haji Reza has received various national and international scholarships as well as academic and industrial awards and recognition, including the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Scholarship, Alberta Innovates-Technology Futures, Dissertation Fellowship, Andrew Stewart Memorial Prize and SPIE Startup challenge and scholarships for his innovative research work.
Dr. HajiReza pioneered Photoacoustic Remote Sensing (PARS) microscopy, a novel absorption-based, non-contact, non-invasive, label-free imaging technique. In November 2014, he co-founded a start-up company illumiSonics inc., holding the position of CEO from November 2014 to March 2018. illumiSonics is currently focused on commercializing PARS technology for pre-clinical and pharmaceutical applications. During Dr. Haji Reza's leadership role at illumiSonics, he raised private investments and attracted notable individuals and international companies. He is currently the Chairman of the Board of illumiSonics, overseeing the major policies and decisions of this Company.
