Dr Danuta Bukowska graduated from the Nicolaus Copernicus University (NCU) in Torun, Poland with a PhD in biophysics in 2014. Dr Bukowska’s PhD was undertaken in the Optical Biomedical Imaging Group led by a leading researcher in optical coherence tomography (OCT), Professor Maciej Wojtkowski. The aim of her thesis was to understand the influence of light-tissue interactions on blood flow measurement based on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SdOCT). Dr Bukowska has had a unique opportunity to participate in spectral-domain OCT technique development, working on the design and construction of a range of OCT setups and data processing schemes. Her research interests have focused on structural and functional imaging of the human retinal capillary network, blood flow in microfluidics devices, and brain vasculature imaging in mice.
Since October 2014, she has been employed full time as a Research Associate in the Imaging & Informatics Group aT the Lions Eye Institute (LEI) in Perth, Western Australia. The main objective of her present work is design and development of methodology for data visualisation and analysis. Since 2009, Dr Bukowska has been also strongly engaged in enhancing student involvement in optics. She has been involved in outreach projects aimed at raising general public interest in physics by organising various workshops, lectures and hands-on activities and demonstrations.
