Biography
Dr Qi Hu read for a degree in Engineering Science at St. Hilda’s College, Oxford, from 2013-7. Her doctoral work in adaptive optics for corrections of phase and polarisation state aberrations in microscopes was done in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford from 2017-21, during which time she was also a member of St. Hilda’s College. She was awarded the EPSRC IAA Doctoral Impact Scheme grant in 2021. She was elected to a Schmidt AI in Science fellow and an associate research fellow at Reuben College in 2023. Her work focuses on integrating AI techniques into optical hardware control to develop next-generation imaging systems.
