Dr. Yi Xu completed his PhD at South China Normal University in 2012. His research is focused on shaping light scattering and emission from resonant optical micro-structure as well as developing new mechanisms and strategies for high capacity optical data storage. Dr. Xu has published over 30 internationally referred journal publications. Dr. Xu is a recipient of the Wang Daheng optical prize (for students) awarded by Chinese optical society in 2012. He became a visiting scholar of nanophotonic devices group led by Prof. Xiangping Li since 2016.
