Summary
Youqiao Ma is a photonics entrepreneur and academic leader with over a decade of R&D experience developing optics and sensing technologies for biosensing, life sciences, defense and aerospace. As Founder-CEO of Aishen Biotech and a professor who has directed optoelectronics labs and departmental initiatives, he bridges hands-on device design, microfabrication and systems integration with team building and commercialization. He holds a PhD in Nanophotonics and has filed eight patent applications and authored 30+ peer-reviewed papers, with technical depth spanning fiber optics, plasmonics, metamaterials and silicon photonics. Comfortable with both simulation (FEM, FDTD, BPM, Zemax, Matlab) and lab-scale implementation (FIB, NSOM, sputter deposition, spectrometers), he repeatedly converts proof-of-concept devices into seed-stage ventures. Bilingual in English and Mandarin, he has a track record of translating academic innovation into practical instruments and startups across Canada, China and Ireland.
