Current Chinese Science

Dr. Hongbao Xin is currently a professor and Vice Director of the Institute of Nanophotonics, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China. He received his BS degree in 2011 and Ph.D degree in 2016 from the Sun Yat-Sen University. After graduation, he continued his research at the University of California, Berkeley and the National University of Singapore. He joined Jinan University in 2018. His research interests focus on biophotonics, such as optical manipulation and detection, bio-micromotor, nanoplasmonics, etc. He has published about 50 peer-reviewed journal articles, including Nature Reviews Materials, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Light: Science and Applications, Nano Letters, etc. He was awarded the National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award in Optics of China and the Distinguished Young Scholar by the Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province.

Dr. Tymish Y.Ohulchanskyy is a distinguished professor at the College of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, China. After obtaining his Ph.D. in Optics and Laser Physics in 2001, he joined the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics (ILPB) at the State University of New York, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA. Dr. Ohulchanskyy’s research broadly involves photophysics of organic and inorganic materials in conjunction with their applications in biophotonics. The main focus is on the development of molecular and nanoparticular photoactive agents for targeted optical/multimodal bioimaging and light induced therapy. Dr.Ohulchanskyy has published more than 130 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals, including Nature Photonics, Nature Communications, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the USA. He has one U.S. patent granted and licensed.
