Rate My Professor Liisa Hirvonen

Prior to joining CMCA in 2019, Hirvonen held postdoctoral positions at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and King's College London, UK, where she advanced novel super-resolution and time-resolved fluorescence microscopy methods. During this time, she gained extensive experience with multiphoton microscopy, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF), lightsheet microscopy, atomic force microscopy, various super-resolution techniques, and FLIM. At UWA, she oversees all CMCA optical microscopy equipment, delivers training, and provides ongoing support to users from diverse disciplines. Key publications include "Lightsheet fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) with wide-field time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC)" (Journal of Biophotonics, 2020), "Fast Timing Techniques in FLIM Applications" (Frontiers in Physics, 2020), "Artifact-free high-density localization microscopy analysis" (Nature Methods, 2018), "Wide-field TCSPC: Methods and applications" (Measurement Science and Technology, 2017), and "How did correlative atomic force microscopy and super-resolution microscopy evolve in the quest for unravelling enigmas in biology?" (Nanoscale, 2021). She represents Western Australia for Light Microscopy Australia and the Australia and New Zealand Society for Cell and Developmental Biology (ANZSCDB). Her scholarly work has accumulated over 2,300 citations.
