Zhe (Jake) Guang, PhD

Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering  
Jake is postdoctoral fellow working on quantitative phase imaging and nonlinear optics. Specifically, he works on the fiber-based quantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy system, and stimulated Raman scattering-spectroscopic optical coherence tomography. He earned a PhD degree in ultrafast optical physics, and worked in OFS as a fiber-R&D engineer for 3 years prior to joining the OIS lab. Outside of lab, he enjoys reading, basketball, and hiking.
