Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) combines non-ionising optical and 
ultrasonic waves via the photoacoustic effect to provide in vivo 
multiscale functional and molecular imaging. In PAT, pulsed laser light 
penetrates the tissue and generates a small but rapid temperature rise, 
which induces emission of ultrasonic waves thermoelastically. The 
ultrasonic waves, ~1000 times less scattering than optical waves in 
tissue, are then detected to form high-resolution images at depths up to 
7 cm, breaking through the optical diffusion limit (~1 mm in the skin).

Super-resolution beyond the optical diffraction limit has also been 
achieved recently. PAT is the only modality capable of imaging across 
the length scales of organelles, cells, tissues, and organs with 
consistent contrast. This technology has the potential to accelerate 
translation from microscopic laboratory discoveries to macroscopic 
clinical practice.

Lihong Wang earned his PhD at Rice University, Houston, USA, under the 
tutelage of Robert Curl, Richard Smalley and Frank Tittel. His 
laboratory invented functional photoacoustic tomography, 3D 
photoacoustic microscopy, and time-reversed ultrasonically encoded 
(TRUE) optical focusing.

Professor Wang has published 335 journal articles and delivered 357 
invited talks. His Google Scholar h-index and citations have reached 75 
and 22,500 respectively and he has received 33 grants as PI with a 
budget of $39 million. He co-founded two companies to commercialise 
photoacoustic tomography.

He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Biomedical Optics and a 
Fellow of the AIMBE, OSA, IEEE, and SPIE. He was awarded OSA's C.E.K. 
Mees Medal and IEEE's Technical Achievement Award for "seminal 
contributions to photoacoustic tomography and Monte Carlo modelling of 
photon transport in biological tissues and for leadership in the 
international biophotonics community".
