After graduating from Princeton, Mandelis worked as a researcher at
Bell-Northern Research Labs in Ottawa from 1980 to 1981. He is also the director of the Institute for Advanced Non-Destructive and Non-Invasive Diagnostic Technologies (IANDIT) in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. (2014–19) (Currently Editor-in-Chief Emeritus,), Topical Editor of the OSA Journal
Optics Letters (2012-18), and on the editorial board of the International Journal of Thermophysics on the scientific advisory board of the online journal Diffusion Fundamentals and on the Scientific Advisory Board of Quantitative InfraRed Thermography (QIRT) Journal (Lavoisier Press, France). He has also been a member in the editorial and advisory boards of the SPIE Journal of Biomedical Optics in the areas of photothermal imaging, dental optics, and photoacoustic tomography, Fellow of the
Canadian Academy of Engineering, and a Fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science. and a Distinguished Fellow of the International Engineering and Technology Institute (IETI). He is an expert in applied
photonics,
imaging,
optoelectronics,
materials science and
biophotonics. He is considered a pioneer in the fields of diffusion-wave,
photothermal and
photoacoustic sciences and related technologies and his research is recognized as having helped define and develop these areas. He also pioneered the Thermal-Wave
Resonant Cavity, which has applications in the fields of molecular thermophysics, kinetic theory and the infrared emissivity of fluids. Mandelis has created the field of dental photonic engineering and the optoelectronic technique of photocarrier
radiometry. which has historically been severely limited in resolution by the physics of diffusive blurring. Andreas Mandelis is a full professor at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto which he joined in 1981. He is also a professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering department and the Institute of Biomaterials and
Biomedical Engineering at the same university. His current research interests include building theoretical and experimental foundations of thermophysical, biothermophotonic and biophotoacoustic transport phenomena, high-performance diagnostic imaging techniques and advanced signal generation and processing methods ("waveform engineering") for semiconductors, photovoltaic solar cells, hard (dental, bone) and soft tissues, novel photothermal biosensors, and defect inspection in industrial materials. Examples of applications are in the fields of alternative clean energy conversion devices (e.g. solar cells, nano-optoelectronics devices), industrial manufactured products (steels, metal composites, nano-coatings), thermophysical inverse problems in solids and industrial materials, and biomedical and dental disease diagnostics, with major focus on advanced dynamic imaging instrumentation. == Quantum Dental Technologies ==
