I have been deeply interested in RF MEMS, AI and computer vision, nanophotonics for bio-X, biosensing and biotracking, and integrated photonics for optical communications since I entered Xi'an Jiaotong University for my undergraduate study in ECE department in 2000.
I started my research study on fast algorithm design and finite-element-analysis of electromagnetic fields using HFSS in 2002. Meanwhile, I also started to work on design a high quality factor (Q), tunable, integrated microresonators for applications in many wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) photonic integrated circuits. Their applications include WDM photonic integrated circuits such as on-chip channel add-drop filters, compact nonlinear optical devices, and optical sensors.
From 2004, I started to study carbon nanotube, cavity QED systems and quantum dot photonics from 2004 as a graduate student at Fudan University. Meanwhile, I spent much time on single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and terahertz device technology.
Since 2009, I focused on the quantum dot photonics, magnetic functional metallic glasses and RF MEMS.
From 2011, I started to study ternary metallic glasses and their application in MEMS, in Department of Physics and Materials Science, City University of Hong Kong. Meanwhile, I spent much time in developing terahertz micromachined waveguide filters, RF MEMS, and sub-terahertz wireless communication technology. I developed the first 140GHz and 0.17THz rectangular waveguide filters based on MEMS technology. Recently, we have developed a series of low loss 0.34THz rectangular waveguides in 2017 and 2018.
I have started to study optomechanics, nanophotonics, nanomechanics and topological insulators since 2011. In 2013 and 2014, I proposed the scheme to genereating two-mode squeezed light in optomechanical systems and Near-Room-Temperature Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect based on 2-D honeycomb lattice materials.
