About me
I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Physics at the 果冻传媒, working on Terahertz hyperspectral single pixel imaging on skin. My research sits at the intersection physics, optics, electronics and robotics, with a particular interest in developing practical devices for emerging THz applications.
Background
I have an interdisciplinary academic background spanning materials science, electronics engineering and photonics. I completed my dual-doctoral research at the University of Liverpool in materials science and at National Tsing Hua University in electronics engineering, where I developed experience in functional materials, device fabrication, optical systems and electromagnetic technologies.
Throughout my research career, I have worked across different areas of materials and photonics, combining experimental research with device design, fabrication and characterisation. This has led to collaborations across different disciplines and to the development of technologies ranging from functional materials and 3D-printed structures to THz devices and optical systems.
I have successfully patented my findings during my PhD studies for the synthesis of refractive index tunable 3D printable nanocomposites.

Selected research
3D-Printed THz Devices
I investigate the use of additive manufacturing to fabricate passive THz components with tailored electromagnetic properties. This includes developing printable functional materials and studying how their composition and structure influence their optical and THz behaviour.
Functional Materials for Photonics
A major part of my work involves engineering materials for specific optical and electromagnetic properties. By combining material formulation with numerical modelling and experimental characterisation, I developed materials that can be directly integrated into photonic devices.
THz Waveguides and Beam Steering
I work on the design and fabrication of THz waveguides and beam-steering components, including structures based on engineered dielectric materials. These devices are aimed at improving the control and manipulation of THz radiation for imaging and communication applications.
Advanced Optical Devices
My research also includes the development of optical and photonic structures such as metalenses and diffractive optical elements. I am particularly interested in using high-resolution additive manufacturing to realise complex optical geometries and functional devices.
Teaching
I have experience supervising undergraduate and graduate students for their laboratory and research activities and enjoy helping them connect fundamental physical concepts with real experimental systems.
When not at work
Outside the lab, I enjoy watching movies, repairing something, or doing some small DIY projects for myself.
