Synthetic dimension in photonics

Dr. Yuan is a Tenure-track Associate Professor (Distinguished Researcher) in School of Physics and Astronomy at Shanghai Jiao Tong University since 2018. He was a postdoctoral scholar with Prof. Shanhui Fan in the Edward L. Ginzton Laboratory at Stanford University. He received his PhD from Texas A&M University with Prof. Marlan O. Scully in 2014, prior to which he obtained his B. S. in Applied Physics and M. S. in Optics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research interests focus on the theoretical study of photonics and quantum optics, targeting towards manipulating the light and exploring novel optical phenomena. He has published over 40 refereed journal articles including Phys. Rev. Lett., Phys. Rev. X, Optica, Nat. Commun., Light Sci. Appl.
