Back to Hyperspectral

Working on mineral classification models from spectral data again. This time it is not just research – it is becoming a product. Training clay classifiers for kaolinite, chlorite, and smectite from VNIR/SWIR imagery. The connection between my PhD work on hyperspectral imaging and this consulting project feels full circle. Same physics, same math, but now it has to run reliably in a field deployment.

In 2012, I started working on Super-resolution Optical Fluctuation Imaging at SCIAN-Lab, Universidad de Chile, collaborating with researchers at the III Physics Institute of the University of Gottingen in Germany. The goal was to implement SOFI from the ground up — cumulant computation, synthetic quantum dot simulators, deconvolution — and apply it to biological samples. After months of work, we achieved the first successful SOFI super-resolution imaging in Chile, resolving structures below the diffraction limit using nothing more than temporal statistics from blinking fluorescent emitters.
