About
I received my Ph.D. in Optical Engineering from Shenzhen University in June 2024, under the supervision of Prof. Changjun Min. My doctoral research focused on optical surface waves and optical tweezers manipulation.
From January 2025 to January 2026, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, working with Prof. Yijie Shen on topological structured light and its interaction with matter.
Since May 2026, I have been an Associate Researcher at the College of Physics, Chengdu University of Technology, joining Prof. Fangwei Ye's research group.
My research focuses on structured light field manipulation, topological structured light, and optical tweezers. I have published 20+ peer-reviewed papers in top-tier journals including Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Light: Science & Applications, Nano Letters, and Photonics Research.
