About The Company

Dynamic Light® is based in Austin, Texas and was founded in May 2018. Dynamic Light’s mission is to enable real-time blood flow imaging to improve patient care and lower health care costs. Our technology supports better decision making by providing surgeons continuous, real-time, and high-resolution visualization of blood flow and perfusion.

At Dynamic Light, we are reshaping the future of surgery with SpeckleView®—our patented, non-invasive imaging technology that enables surgeons to visualize blood flow in real-time. By eliminating the need for traditional dyes and offering continuous, high-resolution insights, our solution dramatically improves patient outcomes and reduces surgical risks across neurovascular, robotic, and plastic surgeries, among others.

Andrew Dunn, PhD

Andy has been developing novel imaging techniques to improve human health for more than 20 years. His lab pioneered the use of laser speckle imaging of blood flow in the brain and recently demonstrated its ability to guide surgeons during neurosurgery. He is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and the Edward S. Hyman Endowed Chair in Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. He received his BS in physics from Bates College, his MS in electrical engineering from Northeastern University, and his PhD in biomedical engineering from UT Austin. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Beckman Laser Institute at the University of California at Irvine, and served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School from 2000-2005, where he developed laser based methods for functional brain imaging. In 2005 he joined the Biomedical Engineering Department at UT Austin. He served as Interim Chair of the Biomedical Engineering Department in 2015-2016. He was a Visiting Professor at Intitut Langevin at Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris in 2016. He is a fellow of Optica (formerly OSA), Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). He has received numerous awards including the TAMEST Peter and Edith O’Donnell Award, The University of Texas Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award, the American Heart Association Established Investigator Award, National Science Foundation CAREER Award, a Wallace Coulter Foundation Translational Research Award, a Dana Foundation Brain and Immunoimaging Award, a Whitaker Foundation Scientist Development Award, and a NIH Career Development Award.
