SORS for Noninvasive Blood Analysis

Extends noninvasive Raman spectroscopy to detect Plasmodium-infected red blood cells in flowing whole blood through overlying tissue layers — without needle or lancet. Uses frequency-domain modulation to separate shallow background from deeper blood signal.

Contributions

1. Designed frequency-resolved SORS geometry for flowing blood phantoms.
2. Built signal processing pipeline to unmix parasitized from healthy cell spectra.
3. Validated detection sensitivity against brightfield and flow cytometry ground truth.
