The use of light for scientific investigation in biomedical research and non-invasive diagnostics has become increasingly important and popular thanks to high sensitivity, minimum perturbation to living organisms, functionality and affordable cost of optical instruments enabled by recent advances in both photonic and electronic technologies. This course is designed to cover the principles, concepts, practical implementations and applications of optical spectroscopy and imaging techniques that are commonly used for biomedical sensing and diagnosis. The first part of the course introduces absorption, fluorescence, infrared, elastic scattering and Raman scattering spectroscopies. The second part of the course introduces various optical imaging techniques including conventional light microscopy techniques (phase contrast, darkfield, polarization, differential interference contrast, structured illumination), confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography, multiphoton microscopy, quantitative phase microscopy and super-resolution imaging. Recent applications of various optical techniques in medical diagnostics will also be reviewed. The objective is to provide the students with a working knowledge of these techniques with extended goals of enabling the students to choose appropriate tools for related biomedical research and preparing the students for further development of instruments and applications.

Population health and health care system of a nation are increasingly affected by the processes of globalization. This introductory course is aimed to provide an overview of the emerging field of global health. Thru lectures and discussion sessions we will introduce the principles and goals of global health, measurement tools for global health research, and the contemporary development of global health. Invited speakers will address global health theories and practices on a range of topics, such as health care delivery systems, control of communicable and non-communicable diseases, occupational health, environmental health, and the rising influences of global trade policies on health and health inequalities. This course is designed for undergraduate students majoring in global health and students in other departments who may or may not have previous exposure to public health sciences. Each session runs for 3 hours, starting with a one-hour lecture and followed by small-group discussions led by TA, and ending with a final plenary discussion involving the instructor and the whole class. Students will obtain knowledge on public health sciences with a global perspective.

This class will emphasize the major driving forces behind eCommerce : business development and strategy, technological innovations, and social controversies and impacts. We will analyse eCommerce , digital market, and e-business firms just as we would ordinary business and markets using concepts from economies, marketing, finance, sociology, philosophy, and information systems.

Important new developments happen almost every day in eCommerce and the Internet. We try to capture as many of these important new developments as possible in each session. We will cover many real-company examples and extensive business cases that place coverages in the context of actual eCommerce businesses.

We will devote some time to an examination of B2B eCommerce. We will also cover different types of marketplace ( e-distributors, e-procurements, exchanges and industry consortia ) to help students to understand this complex arena of e-commence . We will address important changes for eCommerce include dramatic price reduction in eCommerce infrastructure, the explosive growth in the mobile platform and expansion in the development of social technologies.

We will pay special attention throughout the class to the social and legal context of eCommerce. take advantage of the evolving world of opportunity offered by eCommerce, which is dramatically altering the way business is conducted and driving major shifts in the global economy.

We hope eCommerce concept students lean in this class will help make you valuable to future potential employers. The information students learn in this class will be valuable throughout students’ career . We expect that students will be able to participate in , and even lead , management discussions of eCommerce for your company. College of Management Main Campus *Restrict to 3rd-year and above.
