Yang gives an invited webinar of the “Photothermal Microscopy and Spectroscopy Webinar” series

Yang delivered an invited talk at the esteemed Photothermal Microscopy and Spectroscopy Webinar series. to Subhasis Adhikari, Andrea Kramer, Frank Cichos, and Michel Orrit for extending this invitation and for their exceptional work in organizing this insightful seminar series.

Check out the “Photothermal Microscopy and Spectroscopy Webinar” organized by the University of Leipzig, Germany, and the University of Leiden, the Netherlands. There are many interesting talks!

Our paper is published in Nature Communications!

I am thrilled to announce the publication of our latest paper, ‘Visualizing ultrafast photothermal dynamics with decoupled optical force nanoscopy‘, in Nature Communications! A big shout-out and congratulations to all the authors, and heartfelt thanks to Prof. Catherine Murphy’s and Prof. Yun-Sheng Chen’s teams for their amazing collaboration in making this happen.

Hanwei receives the prestigious Hong, McCully and Allen Fellowship!

Congratulations to my graduate student, Hanwei Wang, for being awarded the prestigious Hong, McCully and Allen Fellowship! This is a well-deserved recognition of Hanwei’s hard work and dedication to research. We are proud to have Hanwei as part of our team and look forward to seeing the impact of his work. Congratulations again, Hanwei!

We are hiring!

Prospective lab members should email a CV that summarizes their research skills and interests to Prof. Yang Zhao

Postdoctoral Fellows:
We currently have one position opening for postdocs. Candidates in the fields of optics, nanophotonics, biophysics, and atomic force microscopy are preferred.

Graduate Students:
We are actively looking for exceptionally qualified graduate students with a background in Electrical Engineering, Bioengineering/Biology, Materials Science, and Physics/Applied Physics to join our lab.

Undergraduate Students:
We welcome UIUC undergraduates who are interested in gaining research experience in the areas of biophotonic devices, microscopy, nano-optics and nanophotonics. Please note that we generally discourage short term projects (single semester) since there is a significant amount of training required prior to participating in one of our research programs. Students, who are interested in long-term (two semesters or longer) intensive research projects, are highly encouraged to contact Prof. Zhao.
