Michael Atlan was hired in 2008 as a researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in experimental optical physics, instrumentation, and computational imaging. He works at the Langevin Institute, CNRS UMR 7587, and the Quinze-Vingts National Eye hospital, INSERM CIC 1423. He develops coherent-light instrumentation and numerical processing methods for laser Doppler vibrometry, optical coherence tomography, holographic microscopy, and blood flow imaging in low-light for biomedical applications. His expertise is focused on methodologies involving optically-acquired digital holograms for sensitive coherent imaging at the highest possible throughput. He is the project manager of GPU-based digital hologram rendering software "Holovibes" (www.holovibes.com) which enables versatile, ultrahigh throughput real-time rendering. He is the co-author of peer-reviewed journal articles, patents, and book chapters on the subject of digital holography.
