Kristen Carlson Maitland is an associate professor at Texas A&M University. She develops optical instrumentation for the detection and diagnosis of diseases, including infection and cancer. She has served on the Board of Directors of SPIE.

Education and early career

Maitland grew up in California. She attended the Exploratorium as a child, and became interested in the creative science exhibits. At the time a new rollercoaster was being developed, and Maitland stepped in to help fix it. One of the Exploratorium employees asked if she was an engineering student. She had arthroscopic surgery as a teenager which made her interested in optics.[1] She studied electrical engineering at the California Polytechnic State University, where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees. She moved to the University of Texas at Austin for her doctoral studies, and earned her PhD in 2006.[2] After completing her graduate studies, she joined the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a staff scientist. She joined the faculty at Texas A&M University in 2008.[3]

Research

Maitland works on the early detection of cancers and tuberculosis using multi-modal optical imaging.[2] This involves fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy for initial guidance and reflectance confocal microscopy for the detection of cellular changes.[4][5] The fluorescence signals can be detected from outside the body or through optical fibres.[2] She is interested in the miniaturisation of these devices to increase the scanning speed and depth.[2]

For the detection of bacterial infection Maitland uses optical fibres to excited near-infrared optical reporters inside the lung. Fluorescence signals are monitored outside the lungs and used to quantify the levels of bacterial infection.[3] The fibres use a diffuse fibre excitation source that allows them to get closer to pathogens in the lungs, making high resolution imaging possible.[6]

Awards and honours

Her awards and honours include;

She is a Fellow of SPIE and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.[8] She was elected to the Board of Directors at SPIE in 2017.[9][10] In 2019 Maitland was inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering College of Fellows.[11]
