• Designed, instrumented, and characterized (PSF, noise) interferometric optical systems for bio/nano‑imaging and detection.
• Developed mid‑infrared photothermal microscopy (spectroscopic) at nano‑scale resolution and sensitivity and formulated signal theory.
• Developed optical (pupil engineering) and computational imaging techniques (PSF engineering) to improve sensitivity and resolution.
• Formulated physical optics based forward model for the interferometric scattering signal and implemented image reconstruction algorithms.
• Implemented hardware automation and control software on Python for high‑speed and synchronized image acquisition.
• Worked in cross‑cultural groups and closely collaborated with cross‑functional scientists.
• Closely worked with a series B startup (Nanoview Biosciences) since its early stage and vitally contributed to get $ 750K NSF SBIR phase II grant.
