Sharath Bhagavatula, MD

Assistant Professor of Radiology

Sharath Bhagavatula completed his BS at Cornell University in Electrical/Computer Engineering, MD at NYU, and radiology residency and interventional radiology fellowship here at BWH/Harvard Medical School. His research interests focus on developing and translating novel tools for minimally invasive cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Guigen Liu, PhD

Instructor in Radiology

Prior to joining the Jonas Lab in 2020, he was a postdoctoral research associate with Prof. Ming Han’s group at University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Michigan State University. Previously, he published extensively on optical fiber sensing. He and colleagues invented a crystalline silicon-tipped optical fiber sensing platform for high-speed and high-resolution measurement, this work received the Alan Berman Research Publication Award from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. In collaboration with colleagues at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, this work also gave birth to the first fiber-optic bolometer. In this current group, he has transitioned to focus on biomedical applications. His recent work is about the development of two-photon and Raman in vivo micro-endoscopic imaging systems using GRIN lenses and fiber optics. He was a recipient of the BWH Radiology Department Research Pilot Grant Award. Dr. Liu received the B.E. degree from Qingdao University and the Ph.D. degree from Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, both in mechanical engineering. He was appointed as an assistant professor with CIOMP upon graduation.

Destiny Matthew

Research Assistant

Destiny completed a dual BS in Biology and Public Health at Brandeis and a MEng in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University. In the lab, she works on cell culture, device loading, and staining. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, listening to podcasts, and spending time with friends.

Sebastian Ahn

Research Assistant

Seb obtained a dual B.A. in physics and biochemistry & molecular biology from Boston University in 2016. With the Jonas Lab, he focuses on computational histopathology using machine learning and the development of tools and algorithms for high-throughput image and spatial processing. When away from the lab, he enjoys producing electronic music and tries to learn new languages.

Christine Dominas

Clinical Trials Coordinator

Christine grew up in Rochester, NY and after spending a few years in Boston, now attends medical school in Buffalo, NY. She remotely oversees the clinical trials and laboratory operational duties. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her dog, exploring new cideries, and being outdoors with friends and family.
