Biography
(只提供英文版)
- Associate Professor in Department of Biomedical Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong
- Research interest centers around innovating optical imaging technologies and demonstrating their applications across disciplines to generate a broader impact
- RFS project — aims to develop a cutting-edge, high-sensitivity morpho-molecular microscopy (HM3) technique that can acquire multifaceted sample information, including morphology, material types, birefringence and dynamics. By developing phase amplification and synthetic aperture imaging strategies, it is expected to significantly improve the imaging contrast and spatial resolution. Through wavelength/polarization multiplexing, the project seeks to extract molecular species and identify material types. It is envisioned that HM3 will pave the way for future advancements in neuroscience, wafer manufacturing and early-stage disease diagnosis, with an enormous impact on both the scientific community and industry.

赞词
周仁杰教授致力于推进定量相位成像（QPI）技术，包括开发定量相位显微术（QPM）及其相位层析显微术（TPM），并证实其在交叉领域的影响。协助已故Gabriel Popescu教授一起于2015年在国际光学工程学会（SPIE）发起了第一届QPI国际会议，并自2019年起担任会议委员会成员。早期对QPI领域的贡献包括发明了用于对未标记细胞进行高解析度成像的白光衍射断层扫描技术，以及开发了用于22纳米/14纳米/9纳米节点晶圆缺陷检测的高灵敏度QPI仪器。自2014年在麻省理工学院和香港中文大学工作以来，一直专注于解决QPI中的以下技术挑战：（1）突破测量准确性极限至亚埃或之上，以测量隐藏的电子行为；（2）突破成像深度极限至毫米级，以实现厚组织的体内成像；（3）突破成像和数据处理速度极限，实现大规模样本的即时分析。在香港中文大学，透过初创公司倍捷锐实现了QPI技术的产业转化。
在研资局研究学者计划的资助下，周仁杰教授计划开发一种高灵敏度形态分子显微技术（HM3），能够获取样本多方面的信息，包括形态、材料类型、双折射性和动态特征。预期HM3技术将推动神经科学、晶片制造和早期疾病诊断的发展。
