WUHAN, China (June 7, 2017) - Wuhan Optoelectronics Forum No. 127 was successfully held in Auditorium A101 at Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) in the morning of June 7. Prof. Baojun Li from Jinan University delivered an exciting talk entitled Optical Trapping and Optical Manipulation Using Fiber Probes. Dr. Jian Wang, from Optoelectronic Devices and Integration Division of WNLO chaired the forum. Dr. Song Xia, Chair of WNLO committee, awarded Prof. Li the forum medal.
Great attention has been paid recently on manipulation of particles and cells. Different manipulation methods, such as optical methods, dielectrophoresis, and acoustic tweezers, have achieved fruitful results. Among them, optical methods have merits of high flexibility, targeting, and non-invasiveness. In this talk, we will talk optical manipulation of particles and cells using fiber probes. This is a non-invasive method to provide potential application for biological and colloidal researches.
Dr. Baojun Li received his Ph.D from Xi’an Jiaotong University in China in 1998. He worked at Fudan University in Shanghai, China as a Postdoctoral Fellow from 1998 to 2000. After that, he worked at the Singapore-MIT Alliance and National University of Singapore from 2000 to 2002, first at a Postdoctoral Fellow and then as a Research Fellow. From April to October 2002, he worked as a Research Fellow at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering in Singapore. He joined Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, China as a full Professor in 2002, and also served as the Director of the Research Laboratory for Optoelectronic Integration and Lasers in the State Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Materials and Technologies. From May to November 2009, he worked at University of Oxford as a Senior Visiting Scholar. After that, he came back to Sun Yat-Sen University as a Chang Jiang Scholar Professor and served as the Dean of the School of Physics and Engineering. In July 2016, he moved to Jinan University, Guangzhou, China, where he currently serves as the Director for Institute of Nanophotonics.
