He is the author and co-author of more than 265 scientific papers in refereed journals and more than 140 proceedings papers. He has delivered over 125 invited, keynote and plenary talks at international conferences.
Dr. Mandelis is the Editor-in-Chief of the book series Progress in Photothermal and Photoacoustic Science and Technology; published by the SPIE. He has also been a guest editor of a number of special issues in the area of photo-acoustic/photo-thermal phenomena. Dr. Mandelis is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Physics and Review of Scientific Instruments (American Institute of Physics) and of the International Journal of Thermophysics, and has been on the editorial or editorial advisory boards of the Journal of Applied Physics, Applied Physics Letters, International Journal of Thermophysics, the International Journal of NDT&E, and Analytical Sciences (J. Chem. Soc. Japan).
Dr. Mandelis has several patents and patents pending in the area of photothermal tomographic imaging, signal processing and measurement, hydrogen sensors, dental laser diagnostics (biothermophotonics), semiconductor laser infrared photothermal radiometry, laser photo-carrier radiometry and laser bioacoustophotonic tissue imaging. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and of the SPIE, and a Member of the ASME K7 Committee on Thermophysics. He has been on the Executive and Leadership of the APS Instrument and Measurement Science Topical Group and is the Founder and ex-Chair of the Division of Instrumentation and Measurement Physics (DIMP) of the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP).
He is the Co-founder and President of the International Photoacoustic and Photothermal Association (IPPA), a scientific prize awarding society with headquarters in Toronto, CA, and Providence, USA. He is the recipient of several awards, including the Alexander von Humboldt award, the 2004 Skills for Change Award (City of Toronto) and Ontario's 2007 Premier's Discovery Award in Natural Sciences and Engineering. He is considered a world expert in infrared photo-thermal radiometry (PTR) and in diffuse optical fields in turbid media, Quantum Dental Technologies' patented and patent-pending technologies.
