Anna Devor arrived at Boston University (BU) in July 2019 as a tenured Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Associate Director of the BU Neurophotonics Center. She is an author of >100 peer-reviewed publications collectively cited >7.8K times with H Index = 39, i10 Index = 79. She has a broad background in cellular and systems-level neuroscience including with expertise in neurovascular coupling and regulation of cerebral blood flow. She tackles these questions using novel optical imaging methods and combining optical imaging with other modalities as well as computational modeling. The Devor lab and their collaborators also develop novel optical microscopy methods such as non-degenerate 2-photon microscopy for deep penetration in light scattering biological tissue.

Dr. Devor is a sought-after teacher and participant of summer schools and short courses in neuroimaging, blood flow regulation, and microscopy around the world. These include the Neurophotonics summer school at Laval University, Canada; CAJAL summer school in Bordeaux, France; IBRO summer school in Valdivia, Chile; short graduate course on neuroimaging at University of Copenhagen, Denmark; the educational weekend offered by the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) as part of their annual meeting. Dr. Devor received two Outstanding Teacher Awards from ISMRM. During her independent career, she trained 22 graduate students and 25 postdoctoral fellows; 16 of her trainees have received one or more fellowships from NIH, NSF, AHA
and other foundations while in her laboratory. Since the beginning of COVID pandemic, Dr. Devor has been involved in pre-college education. She has taught an online Eureka! course 'Reading Thoughts and Writing Memories' for high school students.

Dr. Devor is the Editor-in-Chief of Neurophotonics journal published by SPIE and an active member of SPIE and Optica (formerly OSA) Organizing Committees. She is the Program Chair for Neurophotonics at BiOS SPIE 2022 annual meeting and a Previous Chair of Optics in the Brain at OSA.
