Senior🎓
Top SchoolSheng Xiao is a senior optical engineer and scientist with 11 years of experience designing, building, and automating advanced imaging and illumination systems for biological research. At Chan Zuckerberg Biohub he leads development of high-resolution, long-term microscopy platforms for whole-organism imaging, translating novel optics innovations—like scan multiplier units and z-splitter prisms—into robust, user-facing systems. He combines deep hands-on expertise in camera, spectroscopic, interferometric, and fiber-optic hardware with algorithmic strengths in image processing and computer vision, and is fluent in C/C++, Python, and MATLAB. Sheng’s work is notable for pushing frame rates and volumetric throughput (e.g., kilohertz-scale and snapshot 3D approaches) while keeping systems practical for routine lab use. Trained with a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Boston University and a bachelor’s in Optical Engineering, he excels at bridging cutting-edge optics research with reproducible instrumentation.
