【Introduction to the lecturer】

Costas Balas received the Physics Degree and the PhD in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, both from the University of Patras Greece. He is a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the Technical University of Crete, Chania, Greece. He is the Director of the ECE School Electronics Lab and the founder and leader of Lab’s photonics group. His research interests span both biophotonics and hyperspectral imaging. Costas Balas has served as Gest Editor/Editorial Board Member in 9 journals, given more than 50 invited/plenary talks in international conferences, and published more than 100 per-reviewed articles and book chapters.

【Lecture Information】

This talk will emphasize on new developments towards an ideal hyperspectral imaging system. The talk will firstly present an advanced, miniaturized hardware configuration, combined with nearly real time spectral classification algorithms, with the total system outputting spectral maps displayed at video rates. This is synonymous to spectral hyper vision , an emerging technology holding the promise to radically improve the diagnostic and surgical treatment accuracy outcomes in several medical practices. A new generation of skin scopes, endoscopes and gynecologic microscopes, implementing this new technology will be presented, together with results from international clinical trials confirming superior performance over traditional methods.
