This course discusses concepts in basic physics, including the study of space and time, kinematics, forces, energy and momentum, conservation laws, rotational motion, torques, harmonic oscillation, and waves. The textbook can be accessed here.

This course provides foundational knowledge on the interaction between light and biological tissues, as well as optical imaging techniques for biological systems. We will explore material from various areas of physics, with a focus on theories of optical properties based on idealized models, solutions to a range of scattering problems, and physical models for naturally turbid biological tissues. The course will further discuss the fundamentals of photon transport and optical imaging in biological tissues and state-of-art imaging systems to interrogate biological systems.
