Jiahe Cui

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Dr Jiahe Cui is a postdoctoral research associate who completed her DPhil from the DOP group in 2022. Her work concerned the clinical application of adaptive optics, remote focusing, and machine learning techniques to provide stabilised high-resolution image guidance during surgery. After graduation, she made a career shift towards vision science and is currently working in close collaboration with the Oxford Perception Lab (OPL) at the Department of Experimental Psychology, where her research focuses on the development and application of multi-functional high-resolution retinal imaging systems. She is also a committee member of Optica Applications of Visual Science Technical Group, a guest editor of Photonics, a member of the Engineering Science Researcher Committee, and a researcher co-investigator. She twice received the Award for Excellence from Oxford (2022, 2024).

Qi Hu

Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Qi completed her doctorate in the group in 2021.  Her research covers new methods for adaptive optics in high resolution volumetric microscopy. She previously carried out undergraduate projects in the group on polarisation modulation and volume holography.

Yunuen Montelongo

Marie Curie Research Fellow

Dr Yunuen Montelongo obtained his PhD in 2015 at the University of Cambridge in the Centre of Advanced Photonics and Electronics. Then, he continued with his postdoctoral training in the Chemistry Department at Imperial College London. Currently he is a part-time Research Fellow in the Department of Engineering Science and Research Fellow of Wolfson College.

Zipei Song

DPhil Student

Zipei joined the Soft Matter Photonics and Dynamic Optics and Photonics Groups in October 2020 as a DPhil student supervised by Dr. Stephen Morris and Dr. Julian Fells. The focus of his research is on the development of novel Optical Fibre Bragg Grating sensors filled with Liquid Crystalline materials.

Mohan Wang

Postdoctoral Researcher

Mohan was a awarded a PhD from University of Pittsburgh for her thesis "Femtosecond Laser Fabrication of Photonic Devices on Transparent Platforms". She is currently researching new laser micro-fabrication techniques for optical fibre sensors capable of withstanding extreme environments.

Tianxin Wang

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Dr. Wang joined the Soft Matter Photonics Group and the Dynamic Optics and Photonics Group in 2024. His current research is dedicated to Coherence Domain Adaptive Optics, achieving adaptive optical control of the spatio-temporal coherence characteristics of a light source using liquid crystal speckle reducers.
