Sunnyvale, California, United States

Contracted Optical Engineer at VR Product Development Team. Worked on system-level development & production of Meta Quest Pro (released in 2022 Nov) from prototype to EVT phases.• Investigated the optical metrology measurements (colors, disparity, lens errors etc.) from component to the module level, providing statistical analyses (6σ etc.) to the cross-functional teams and Asian vendors for spec optimization. • Prepared DOEs and identified issues in production and metrology… Show more Contracted Optical Engineer at VR Product Development Team.

• Prototyped a LabVIEW controlled system and user-friendly interface for large-area laser-scanning tattoo removal

West Lafayette, Indiana, United States

Research assistant in Professor Ji-Xin Cheng's group. (transferred to Boston University in 2018 Jan with owing to my adviser’s relocation)• Developed the first Bessel-beam-based chemical projection microscopy and tomography, enabling a fast and global measurement of chemical content in a complex biological system • Protopyed a single-beam broadband stimulated Raman spectroscopic microscope (pulse shaping, LabVIEW)

I was awarded a scholarship from Tianjin University (selected ~50 from >3000 students) to complete my senior thesis overseas. I came to Professor Ji-Xin Cheng's lab at Purdue University and then joined his lab as a Ph.D. student starting from August 2016.

Hsinchu City, Taiwan

Research intern at Professor Ci-Ling Pan lab. • Simulated the generation of broadband terahertz pulses by picosecond noise-like pulses with a home-built model in Matlab. The idea and outcomes were then used in a grant proposal in Taiwan.

Tianjin, China

Accomplished a first-author paper demonstrating one of the first near-infrared photonic crystal fibers with hybrid-guidance mechanisms (integrating total-internal-reflection and photonic-bandgap-guidance) • In this paper, I further developed an analytical model to accurately predict the photonic bandgap modes. The model was verified by FEM (COMSOL)• Additionally, I programmed a femtosecond fiber laser (LabVIEW) for 3D two-photon direct-writing of optical waveguides
