Congratulations to the newest PhD in our lab! Dr. Adley Gin successfully defended his thesis, “Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease and Studying Kappa Opioid Receptors Using Whispering Gallery Mode Microtoroid Biosensors” on April 4th. This work was funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Aging, and the Arizona Alzheimer’s Consortium.
Glad to have the opportunity to share the latest findings from my lab to students and faculty at UCSD NanoEngineering / Chemical Engineering on May 15th, 2024. I’m looking forward to learning more from my host institution as well.
We are pleased to host an Optica Incubator on Frequency Combs for Chemical, Biological, and Medical Applications on October 9-11, 2024, at Optica Headquarters in Washington DC. I look forward to forging many wonderful collaborations to rapidly advance this field.

Our work on ultra-high-Q free-space coupling to microtoroid optical resonators has been published in Light: Science & Applications. We thank the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for their generous funding support.
Honored to receive the Journal of Physics Photonics 2023 Early Career Award. One winner is selected from their emerging leaders issue. Our paper was entitled, “Impact of stimulated Raman scattering on dark soliton generation in a silica microresonator.”
Congrats to Shuang who successfully defended his dissertation on “Fundamentals and Applications of Label-Free FLOWER-Based Sensing for Ultra-sensitive Detection of Single Particles and Molecules” earlier today.
Glad to be selected to participate in the Second U.S.- Africa Frontiers of Science, Engineering and Medicine Symposium organized by U.S. National Academies held in partnership with the Hassan II Academy of Sciences and Technologies, on January 16-18, 2024, in Rabat, Morocco.
I am glad to serve as the chair of SPIE’s Biophotonics Technology Innovators Award Committee beginning in 2024. Please help me encourage and honor achievements in this important field by nominating people when the time comes.
Honored to be included in the Photonics 100, 2024. https://bit.ly/3RJrvPZ . Thanks to my family, my students, my mentors, and my sponsors for making this possible. #Photonics100
Our research was highlighted at the September 2, 2023 UArizona vs NAU football game.
