1. On-chip Structured Light Emission and Manipulation
2. On-chip Microcavity and Nonlinear Photonic Chips
3. Micro/Nano Optical Sensing and Spectral Metrology

Our group focuses on cutting-edge research and translational applications of on-chip integrated optical field manipulation, with full in-house capabilities across design, fabrication, packaging, and testing. We have successfully developed a series of photonic chips, including optical intensity modulation chips, nonlinear spectral broadening chips, and optical levitation chips.

We recruit 2–3 graduate students (Ph.D./M.S.) per year and welcome applications for postdoctoral fellows, permanent research positions, and short-term visitors. Members are encouraged to develop innovative research programs aligned with their interests and expertise. Candidates with backgrounds in physics, electronics, materials science, biology, or related disciplines are welcome.

We value interdisciplinary collaboration and industry-academia partnerships. Interested parties are encouraged to contact us for potential collaborations or technical discussions.
