Biography

Dr. Hanqing Xiong has long been engaged in research on molecular spectroscopy and its applications in biomedical detection and imaging. His current research interests focus on developing high-throughput, universal biomedical measurement and imaging tools that can routinely acquire clinical big data capable of representing the health state for each individual in a label-free manner. Specific research directions include: (1) exploring new phenomena in molecular spectroscopy; (2) developing label-free optical measurement and imaging techniques based on molecular vibrational spectroscopy contrast, and designing related scientific instruments; (3) advancing ultrafast femtosecond laser technologies tailored for specific molecular spectroscopy applications. Since its establishment, his research group has published numerous papers in journals such as Nature Photonics, JACS, and Light: Science & Applications, and has filed or been granted several related invention patents.
