Jingyu is a man of nature. At work, he is passionate about seeing subcellular structure or live neurons in all kinds of life forms under novel microscopes he builds. At home, he enjoys working alone in his overgrown garden during the day and then turning those home grown into strange flavour food.
Zimo focuses on liquid crystal technologies as well as their applications in vectorial optics fields for polarization manipulation. Outside the lab, he also developed some other interesting skills. He is good at origami and has a strong craftsmanship. He is also a foodie and a good cook, so he likes to travel to different countries for gourmet food and cook at home for nice dishes.

Yifei focuses on vectorial beam manipulation, especially in the advanced vectorial imaging technique towards pathological samples and material samples. Yifei is highly enthusiastic about transferring advanced techniques to the market.
"In my spare time, usually I will go for sports such as tennis, squash, basketball as well as the gym session. And I also enjoy doing aerobic exercise such as pubbing and clubbing :)"
Xuke focuses on utilizing printing technology to create liquid crystal droplets and exploring their unique properties, also leveraging these liquid crystals for full vectorial optical field sensing.
" When I’m not in the lab, I’m all about striking that perfect work-life balance. I firmly believe that all work and no play makes for a dull day! So, if you're ever up for a gym session to lift some weights, or down for a gaming marathon, count me in. Looking forward to making great memories and groundbreaking discoveries together! "
" My research interests revolve around polarisation modulation, liquid crystals, and waveguide techniques for quantum computing. Beyond academia, I have a passion for Jazz music, singing, and reading psychology books."
Yunqi's major research interests include Optical Skyrmion, Laser Direct Writing and combining polarization modulation with quantum optics to achieve high dimensional quantum entanglement.
"When I am out the lab, I will sit down and read kinds of books. Not only can the scientific books attract me, but the books in arts, history and philosophy align with my interests as well. Also, I am very interested in conducting kinds of experiments especially in Optics, I believe these experiments can show the beauties of our natural world."

"My main research focus is in the use of polarisation in optical communication/computing systems. My current work is centered around the propagation of optical Skyrmions through waveguides and the encoding of information into the topological structure of polarisation fields. Outside of photonics, I am also interested in music, the theory of characteristic classes, and deep-sea fish."
"I'm currently undertaking histopathological research employing polarization microscopy and machine learning to detect malignant lesions. Previously I was working on projects related to optical Skyrmions. Thrilled by my research experiences in photonics, in the future I would like to contribute to this domain at the doctoral level.
Beyond my commitments, I do some volunteering and serve as the college ice hockey captain. I find enjoyment in hiking, playing the piano and reading influential periodicals to stay informed about global affairs."
"Hello world, I am Yuxi Cai. My research interest focuses on speckle reduction in vectorial imaging, which has potential in laser vectorial imaging and next generation endoscope. Potential cooperation opportunities and comments on my research are welcome.
In my spare time, I enjoy running and diving. To me, life is akin to an uncharted wilderness, full of adventures and opportunities. "
"I’m third year student majored in theoretical physics in UCL. I plan to study in quantum science in the future. I am so lucky to be supported and embraced by this awesome team.
I love wonderful things, such as logic, galaxy, art show, drama, pilates, dancing, nice tea and dessert and a fantastic meal.
In a word, from science to art. I'm most interested in quantum science for it is mysterious, especially in the inherent mechanism behind the laws of quantum change. Wish I can explore more incredible theories in this field with full of my energy."
I am a second-year student interested in polarisation sensing and imaging for biomedical applications and information analysis and I will be undertaking a summer internship at VOP. Outside academia, I thrive on adventure and exploration. Whether traveling to new destinations or engaging in outdoor pursuits like climbing, hiking and horse-riding, I am constantly seeking to broaden my experiences and embrace the wonders of the world.
Zhi Kai’s current research is on the fabrication in transparent material with direct laser writing using ultra-short pulse lasers assisted by adaptive optics. His research mainly focuses on characterizing polarization properties of fabricated devices and is very interested in exploring quantum applications and integration with liquid crystals for creating tunable devices.
