Prof. Dr. Yan Sheng graduated from the Capital Normal University in 2001. She received her Master’s degree from the Capital Normal University in 2004 and completed her PhD studies at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2007. She did her postdoctoral training at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (September 2007–February 2010) and the Australian National University (March 2010–December 2013). Thereafter, she served as a lecturer (2014–2017) and an Associate Professor (January 2018–May 2019). She has been a researcher at the Research Institute of Advanced Technologies, Ningbo University, since 2019. She currently focuses on nonlinear photonics, with specific research interests in quasi-phase matching, nonlinear photonic crystals, and femtosecond laser direct writing of nonlinear micro-nano-structures.
Xin Chen is an Associate Professor at the School of Physics, Xidian University. He studied Materials Physics and Chemistry at South China Normal University, China, and graduated as an ME in 2013. He then joined the research group of Prof. Wieslaw Krolikowski at the Research School of Physics and Engineering (RSPE, now renamed as RSP), Australian National University (ANU). He received his PhD degree in 2018 from the same university. His research interests include integrated optics, laser-matter interactions, and nonlinear optics.
Dr. Tianxiang Xu has been the Research Assistant at the Laboratory of Infrared Materials and Devices, Research Institute of Advanced Technologies, Ningbo University since September 2018. He received his Bachelor’s degree at Qingdao University in 2012. From December 2016 to November 2017, he was a joint PhD. student at the Australian National University. He received his PhD from the Institute of Crystal Materials, Shandong University in 2018. He is mainly engaged in the fields of nonlinear optics, quasi-phase matching, femtosecond laser direct-write ferroelectric domain modulation, and nonlinear wavefront modulation.
Dr. Ruwei Zhao has been a lecturer at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Ningbo University, since September 2018. She received her Bachelor’s degree at Shandong University in 2013 and completed her Ph.D. studies at the Institute of Crystal Materials, Shandong University in 2018. Her current major research work includes nonlinear wavefront modulation; theoretical design (MATLAB program); nonlinear grating design; and wide-band optical frequency conversion based on quasi-periodic structures.
Wieslaw Krolikowski received a Ph.D. degree in physics from the Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, in 1988, and a D.Sc. (habilitation) degree in physics from the Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland, in 2001. Since 1992, he has been with the Research School of Physics Australian National University in Canberra, where he is currently an Emeritus Professor. His research interests include the experimental and theoretical aspects of light localization and optical solitons, parametric processes, nonlinear dynamics, photorefractive nonlinear optics, fiber, and integrated optics. Dr. Krolikowski is a Fellow of the Optica (formerly OSA).
