Rate My Professor Alexis Bishop

Dr. Alexis Bishop is a Lecturer in the School of Physics and Astronomy within the Faculty of Science at Monash University. Her research specializations include molecular beam focusing using high-intensity lasers, photoacoustic sensor development, photoacoustic imaging, and optical metrology using optical vortices. These research areas contribute to advancements aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. As part of the Physics of Imaging research group, Bishop works on optical 2-D pressure sensors, photoacoustic imaging through scattering media, measurements using optical vortices, and neutral helium microscopy. She supervises honours projects focused on applied optics, photoacoustic imaging, and neural network correction of distortions in acoustic transducers. Available PhD projects under her supervision cover the development of biomimetic structures as ultrasound contrast agents, deep tissue imaging using photoacoustic contrast agents, all-optical photoacoustic sensors for tomographic imaging in tissue, and related innovative medical imaging techniques. In teaching, Dr. Bishop serves as Chief Examiner for advanced undergraduate units such as PHS3101 Quantum Mechanics, PHS3201 Classical Dynamics and Field Theory, PHS3202 Wave Optics and Atomic Physics, and PHS3000 Experimental Physics.
