Our lab is moving to Michigan State University in January 2025. ​One postdoc and one PhD student opprotunities are currently available.

Welcome to our lab

 We are working at the intersection of ​optical technology innovation and biomedical research. Based on an optical phenomenon called Brillouin scattering, we design and build optical setup and instrument to quantify the mechanical properties (i.e., modulus and viscosity) of the matter with diffraction-limited resolution. Together with other imaging modalities, we study biomechanics of cell, tissue, and biomaterials. Ultimately, we aim to address crucial questions in biophysics and mechanobiology, and pursue clinical application in combating birth defects and cancer diseases.

We are looking for PhD students and postdoc. Please feel free to contact me via zhang4#wayne.edu.
