Summary
Zhihao Zhou is a system design engineer with 12 years’ experience bridging academic photonics research and industry instrumentation, currently designing systems at Apple in Pudong, Shanghai. He holds a PhD from Shanghai Jiao Tong University where he developed novel visible thermography and far-field super-resolution microscopy techniques—achieving lambda/11.2 resolution and up-conversion of mid-IR to visible—alongside building tunable femtosecond pulse generators and custom imaging hardware. Hands-on with optical instruments, ultrafast lasers, and computational imaging, he combines experimental optics expertise with practical camera test and calibration experience. Proficient in Python and MATLAB, he translates complex physical principles into control and reconstruction software for real-world systems. Colleagues benefit from his uncommon skill set that integrates nonlinear optical engineering, hardware design, and algorithmic image reconstruction.
