Dr. Xu Fang

Former Project
Optical Data Processing with Metamaterials

Short CV
Xu Fang completed his undergraduate studies in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Tsinghua University in 2004, and his PhD studies in Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009. Between 2009 and 2012 he was a postdoctoral researcher in RIKEN (The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research), Japan. In 2012 he joined the Optoelectronics Research Centre as research fellow and later became a senior research fellow. His research interests are in metamaterials and ultrafast optics.

As of June, 2016, he is a lecturer in the School of Electronics and Computer Science.
