Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in School of Physics, Beihang University (BUAA). I got the PhD degree from University of Technology Sydney, supervised by Prof. Fan Wang, Prof. David McGloin and Prof. Dayong Jin. My main research interests are in Nanophotonics, computational optical imaging and microscopy, including Super-resolution Imaging, Single-pixel imaging, Wavefront Shaping, Scattering Imaging and Novel Imaging Methods. Innovation in this area would finds applications in bio-medical and physical research, which often operates right at the limit of current technology.

    Video-rate super-resolution imaging through biological tissue can visualize and track biomolecule interplays and transportations inside cellular organisms. In this project, we developed a photon upconversion scheme for wide-field super-resolution imaging through the biological transparent window, featured by near-infrared and low-irradiance nonlinear structured illumination, which is helpful for developing video-rate super-resolution deep imaging methods. Moreover, both the nonlinearity of the emission and the tunability of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) in emission wavelength or lifetime allow us to design more flexible and enhanced super-resolution imaging methods.

  • Single-pixel Imaging

    • Papers: Optica | Optics Express | IEEE Photonics Journal | Journal of Modern Optics | Acta Opt Sinica | Proceedings of SPIE

    Single-pixel imaging produces images without the need for a 2D detector, making use of structured detection or illumination of the object to computationally derive an image. It can offer alternatives to conventional imaging, both for applications in the visible, but also as a low-cost alternative in regimes such as x-ray or infrared. Additionally, single-pixel approaches help to inform high-performance imaging techniques, for example, 3D depth, time-resolved or multispectral imaging, in which CCD based systems would be complicated or expensive to implement. Now we are developing novel compact single-pixel detection systems for imaging through scattering medium and multi-spectral imaging.
