Summary
Wei Chen is an optics professor and researcher with eight years of experience designing and optimizing advanced optical imaging systems, including OCT, Doppler imaging, interferometry and laser scanning microscopy. After a postdoc at UC Berkeley working on adaptive optics, computational imaging and two-photon microscopy, he now leads research and teaching at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. His work blends hands-on optical design, GPU-accelerated reconstruction, and FPGA/VHDL control systems, supported by strong Matlab, C++, LabVIEW and Zemax skills. Notable achievements include a swept-source OCT with real-time GPU processing, a wavelength-multiplexing OCT with ultra-sensitive phase detection (US patent pending), and novel EEG frequency analysis methods. He combines deep laser-physics expertise with practical system-building, from semiconductor laser noise models to high-speed brain imaging.
