Biography

Dr. Shui-Jing Tang is an assistant professor at the National Biomedical Imaging Center (NBIC) of Peking University. She obtained her PhD and completed her postdoctoral training at Peking University. Her research focuses on mechanobiological spectroscopy and microscopy. Her group aims to develop micro-nanoscale optical probes, including optical-microcavity-based ultrasound sensors and intracellular microlasers, for multimodal biomedical imaging, with representative publications in journals such as Nature Photonics, PNAS, PRL, and Nature Communications. Her accomplishments have been recognized and awarded by the "Year in Optics" (OSA, 2023) and the "Top Ten Breakthroughs in Optics in China" (2022, 2023).
