This proposal will develop an event-driven neuromorphic super-resolution microscopy framework that exploits the precise timing and threshold-crossing dynamics of event cameras as an additional source of spatial information for resolution enhancement. The work will first establish how controlled fluorescence changes are encoded into temporally evolving event responses and develop a physics-guided reconstruction algorithm based on this event-domain PSF evolution. The resulting reconstruction will then be implemented and optimized on an edge-computing platform to reduce processing latency and support real-time or near-real-time imaging. Finally, the system will be validated in progressively more demanding biological applications, including fixed subcellular structures, high-speed live-cell dynamics, and functional calcium imaging driven by intrinsic fluorescence changes under continuous illumination. Successful completion of this research will establish detector-level temporal encoding as a new dimension for super-resolution microscopy and provide a unified platform that combines improved spatial resolution, high temporal sensitivity, and efficient computation for biological imaging.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EToward Event-Driven Neuromorphic Super-Resolution Microscopy\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Toward Event-Driven Neuromorphic Super-Resolution Microscopy"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-09-09 13:33:08","changed_gmt":"2026-09-09 13:33:08","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-09-16T09:32:16-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-09-16T10:32:16-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-09-16T10:32:16-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-09-16 13:32:16","gmt_time_end":"2026-09-16 14:32:16","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-09-16 14:32:16","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Marcus Nanotechnology Building, Room 1116","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
