Biography
2002-2006, B.E., Department of Optical Engineering, Zhejiang University 2006-2011, Ph.D., Department of Electronic & Computer Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology 2011-2015, Postdoctoral Associate, Janelia Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute 2015-, Professor, Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Science
Research Interest
We focus on developing novel optical imaging methods, which enable us to measure and study the biological processes with unprecedented precision, such as structures and dynamics of molecular assemblies in living biological systems, interactions between molecules, and behavior of individual molecules, etc. We are greatly enjoying working at the interface of several disciplines, where light, biology and chemistry catalyze each other.
