Hassan lead an international team of researchers that published the research article "Ultrafast optical switching and data encoding on synthesized light fields" in Science Advances in February. UArizona physics postdoctoral research associate Dandan Hui and physics graduate student Husain Alqattan also contributed to the article, in addition to researchers from Ohio State University and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.

Some diseases, like cancer, can progress silently, avoiding detection until it’s too late. An ultrasensitive sensor could detect a disease before symptoms appear, letting health care providers treat the disease early, when it’s still curable. The sensor could also be used in a COVID-19 breath test.
Dr. Philipp Gutruf is the senior author of a new study detailing a wireless brain implant that can monitor animals' dopamine signals in real-time. This battery-free device may lead to a better understanding of neurological disorders and brain functions.
Increases in National Institutes of Health awards to several UArizona Health Sciences colleges led to a strong showing in the annual rankings.
Tech Launch Arizona (TLA) – the office of UArizona that creates impact by commercializing inventions has the tools, resources and experience to help inventors at UArizona in any occupation.
