I’m Lei. Welcome to my website!

Lighting up the hidden diseases.
I am currently a postdoc researcher at Caltech.
My overarching research goal is to build next-generation medical imaging devices to diagnose cancer early and better understand the brain. I have dedicated myself to biomedical imaging since 2012 and endeavored toward that goal. The central problem I want to tackle is to visualize the brain functions in detail and diagnose diseases early using light. To address this, I have been working on developing a new generation of optical imaging technology, specifically photoacoustic tomography.
