Andreas Mandelis (Greek: Ανδρέας Μανδέλης; born 22 June 1952)[1] FRSC, FCAE, FAPS, FSPIE, FAAAS, FASME, is Greek physicist who is a professor and researcher in the department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto. He is the director of the Center for Advanced Diffusion-Wave and Photoacoustic Technologies (CADIPT).[2] and of the Institute for Advanced Non-Destructive and Non-Invasive Diagnostic Technologies (IANDIT) at University of Toronto.[3] He is an internationally recognized expert in thermophotonics.[4] and is considered a pioneer in the fields of diffusion-wave, photothermal, and photoacoustic sciences and related technologies.[5][6] His research interests encompass studies of physical energy conversion processes in condensed and biological matter as they impact instrumentation science and signal generation technologies with applications spanning the development of a wide spectrum of novel instrumentation, measurement and imaging techniques using optical-to-thermal, thermoelastic,electronic, ultrasonic and/or photonic energy conversion high-dynamic-range and high-sensitivity analytical methodologies, leading to advanced non-destructive / non-invasive diagnostic, inspection and monitoring technologies [1][2][3] with major focus on advanced dynamic imaging instrumentation for industrial and biomedical applications.[2] He is the inventor of a photothermal imaging radar which can detect tooth decay at an early stage, can detect cracks in teeth and monitor dental structural integrity over time.[7][8] His research team also pioneered and patented 22 analytical instrumentation and measurement methodologies and metrologies.[1]
