Xin Liu (刘鑫)
A light manipulator
I develop computational methods to simulate, and shape light for imaging and sensing. My research focuses on Computational Optics, particularly on accurate and efficient optics modeling, light shaping, and the joint design of optics and algorithms.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Computational Imaging & Mixed Representation Laboratory, The University of Hong Kong (HKU). I received my Ph.D. in Optical Engineering from Zhejiang University (ZJU) in 2023, where I worked at the X Lab within the State Key Laboratory of Extreme Photonics and Instrumentation and the College of Optical Science and Engineering. Before that, I earned my B.E. in Optoelectronic Information Science and Engineering from the School of Physics and Optoelectronics, South China University of Technology (SCUT), in 2018.
