I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, advised by Dr. Arun Majumdar. My research centers on developing nano-photonic devices and optical systems for imaging, sensing, display, communication and energy transfer engineering. By fusing advanced optical designs, nano-fabrication, electro-optical characterization, and novel computational and machine learning algorithms, I aim to unlock new functionalities of light, enabling breakthroughs in machine vision, displays, computation, energy harvesting, and environmental remediation.

My work bridges fundamental physics in light-matter interactions and practical engineering in energy and information applications. I investigate how to control light-matter interactions at the nanoscale using new optical materials and meta-optical designs. Building on these principles, I develop integrated devices, systems and advanced algorithms that push the boundaries of spectral sensing and infrared imaging, overcoming longstanding challenges like ghosting in traditional thermal vision. I also lead efforts to explore the fundamental limits of engineering radiation heat transfer, opening new opportunities in energy harvesting and information communication.

I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University under the guidance of Dr. Zubin Jacob. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Optical Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University.
