Biography | 个人简介
English
I am a Professor at the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology (SIBET), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Deputy Director of the Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory for Advanced Theranostics and Medical Instrumentation. My research develops computational optical imaging systems that combine optical physics, fiber photonics, and artificial intelligence for lensless fiber endomicroscopy, multimode fiber imaging, quantitative phase imaging, and 3D optical microscopy.
Before joining SIBET, I was a Young Investigator at the Shanghai AI Laboratory and a Research Associate/PostDoc at TU Dresden. I received my Ph.D. with the highest distinction (summa cum laude) from Dresden University of Technology, advised by Prof. Juergen W. Czarske. I was selected for the NSFC Excellent Young Scientist Fund (Overseas) and the CAS Hundred Talents Program; my work has also been recognized by the Heinrich Barkhausen Prize, the Siegfried Werth Prize, the University Prize for Measurement Systems Engineering, the SPIE Best Paper Prize, and multiple media highlights.
