Mengyun is an Eric and Wendy Schmidt Al in Science Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Materials, and an Associate Research Fellow at Reuben College, Oxford. As an active and enthusiastic researcher, she is particularly interested and passionate in nanoscale light-matter interactions and reconfigurable metasurfaces, and the exploration of their various applications, e.g. next-generation interactive displays, integrated photonic devices, and quantum optics.
As a Schmidt Al in Science Fellow, her research interest focuses on machine learning/Al-enabled meta-optics to push forward the boundaries in quantum photonics technology. Mengyun joined the Advanced Nanoscale Engineering group (Bhaskaran lab) at Oxford in October 2020 as a postdoctoral researcher working in nanophotonics. She received her Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering from Tohoku University, Japan, with research on the development of light-addressable gas sensors based on metal oxides and field-effect structures (04/2017 - 03/2020) and then worked there as an assistant professor (04/2020 - 10/2020). She has also worked on the development of thermally drawn fibers and the exploration of their applications in electrochemical sensing.
