Autorentext

Dr. Ying Fu works at Royal Institute of Technology, where he teaches physics and biophysics, and conducts research focusing on studying and developing bio-conjugated quantum dots (QDs) as in vitro and in vivo biomarkers for studying molecular events of clinical relevance, both theoretically (advanced solid-state theories as well as first-principles theories involving heavy computing on nanostructures, nanophotonics, and nano-bio photonics), and experimentally with a particular strength in live cell and super-resolution bioimaging.

Dr. Wei LU is the professor in Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Chinese academy of sciences. His research field is in the opto-electronics, focusing on the quantum effects and their applications. He has developed the new spectroscopy methods to study the semiconductor quantum structure, including quantum well, quantum wire and quantum dots. His developed LED and integrated optical filter have been used in satellite.
