Radek Brzózka is a TV presenter and science communicator. You may recognize him as the author and host of „Jak to działa?”, a TV program in which he explains the principle of operation of everyday items and presents applications of scientific discoveries. His main interests cover IT technologies, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. One of his greatest passion is paragliding over the Carpathians, Alps and Himalayas. Since 2019, he has been organizing AlphaCamp – science camps for kids. His aim is to instill in the younger generation a fascination with science and technology and to show them that even the most complicated phenomena can be explained simply. During conference, Radek will lead workshop dedicated to the public presentation, during which he will share his experience in science communication based on his experience in working in media.

OCT – beyond classical imaging

During the talk, I’ll provide an introduction to modern optical coherence tomography techniques. The method, so successful in ophthalmology, can offer much more than standard static imaging. We will explore various OCT-related methods for contrast enhancement including mechanical, polarization, or dynamic contrast
