Description
Klaudia Nowacka is a PhD student at ICTER. She holds an MEng degree in Optical Engineering and Photonics from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, where her thesis on composite vortex pattern generation through spatial light modulators demonstrated her expertise in the field.
Klaudia joined the Singular Optics Group under the supervision of Prof. Jan Masajada, where she was able to advance her knowledge and skills in optical setup designing. Her work with Prof. Ireneusz Grulkowski during an internship at Nicolaus Copernicus University has further enhanced her proficiency in structured light and wavefront correction. This expertise is evident in her development of switchable optical vector beam microscopy for high-resolution biomedical imaging.
At ICTER, Klaudia is committed to improving OCT imaging resolution through dynamic light scatterers. She is also a member of the pi-NIRS project, aimed at understanding the optical and dynamical properties of the brain tissue and neurovascular coupling, under the supervision of Dr. Dawid Borycki.
In her spare time, Klaudia embraces a well-rounded lifestyle that encompasses her passions for knowledge, personal growth, and physical activity. She is an avid reader and enthusiast of psychology, neuroscience, and self-development. Her love for the outdoors is reflected in her enjoyment of hiking and traveling.

Research groups
Parallel Interferometry and Computational Optics
Our group focuses on the development of advanced optical methods for functional imaging and sensing. Our mission is to strengthen and continue Polish traditions in Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) and diffuse optics.
Physical Optics and Biophotonics
The research in our group can be seen as a perfect interplay between physics, biology and chemistry. We are focusing on developing imaging techniques and using them in many biological and chemical systems.
