Changhuei Yang

Professor Yang's research area is biophotonics—the imaging and extraction of information from biological targets through the use of light. His research efforts can be categorized into two major groups – Chip-scale microscopy imaging and Time-reversal based optical imaging.

Chip-scale microscopy - Prof. Yang's group is developing a number of technologies aimed at transforming the conventional microscope into chip-scale, automated and cost-effective formats. His group is the pioneer of the first chip-scale microscope system - the optofluidic microscope. The self-imaging petri dish, ePetri, is the group's most recent major innovation in this research area.

Time-reversal based optical imaging - Prof. Yang's group is working on the use of 'time-reversal' techniques to undo the effect of tissue light scattering. This work has the potential to enable greatly improved depth-penetration and resolution improvement for deep tissue optical imaging. It also opens up the possibility for performing incision-less laser surgery and precision cancer therapy.

Prof. Yang's team is moving to the ECE department of the National University of Singapore (NUS) this summer. We are looking to hire multiple postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. As NUS enrolls students twice a year, please reach out to Prof. Yang ([email protected]) if you are interested in enrolling as an NUS graduate student in his team in the next enrollment period (January 2027).
