Background
Paul started working with optics using laser Doppler effect in fluid mechanics. After finishing PhD, he took an offer as research scientist in the US, after which a professor and an associate dean in China; he also served as a technical officer in a solar-power company.
Research Interests
Applying conventional optical microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, multi photon light microscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging, total-internal-reflection fluorescence, ground-state depletion optical super-resolution imaging to study what's happening in the 20nm - 200um world.
