Personal profile

Biography

Barry Cense studied Applied Physics at the Fontys Hogeschool Eindhoven (1995). He holds a PhD degree from Twente University, the Netherlands (2005). His research has brought him from the Netherlands (Philips Corporate Research), to the USA (Massachusetts General Hospital, Indiana University), Japan (Utsunomiya University) to Australia (University of Western Australia). He is the (co-)inventor of 11 published US patents and the (co-)author of more than 50 peer-reviewed published papers. These papers have been cited more than 11,000 times (source: Google Scholar, August 2021) and he has an H-index of 34.

Research interests

In retinal imaging, physicians rely upon morphological changes that occur after cells have been damaged. Unfortunately, this damage cannot be repaired by the body itself, and new ganglion cells or photo receptors cannot be added artificially. My goal is to use high-end retinal imaging techniques such as polarization-sensitive imaging, adaptive optics and retinal tracking to probe the health of the retina, so that diseases can be diagnosed in the earliest possible stage.

Teaching overview

2019: 

  • ENSC2001 - Motion, co-coordinator. This is a first-year unit. I am coordinating the workshop sessions. Students build an autonomous vehicle that finds its way and fires a rocket. The rocket is pressurized with air. Approximately 250 students participate.
  • ELEC5552 - Design, co-coordinator. This is a 5th year capstone unit, where students work on real world problems, desiging, building and testing prototypes for companies and academics at UWA. Currently, 26 groups of about 6 studens each are enrolled.
