Summary
My working experience is mainly focused on scientific research of optics and physics,
including laser cooling and trapping, photonics, quantum optics, and quantum information. This
enabled me to master many technical skills covering laser frequency tuning and stabilization,
beam shaping, high resolution imaging, electronics for experimental automation, data acquisition
and analysis, etc. Beyond this, I have gained extensive skills in designing and developing of
electronic circuits, programing with LabVIEW, Matlab, Mathematica and C, optical design and
analysis with OSLO, etc. More importantly, I have found valuable experience of R&D project
management when I worked as a principal engineer in DenseLight Semiconductors Pte. Ltd.
(Singapore).
