Dr. Guoan Zheng is currently the UTC Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut, with a joint appointment from the Biomedical Engineering Department and the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.

Dr. Zheng’s expertise includes microscopy, ptychography, optical engineering, biophotonics, computational imaging, and lab-on-a-chip devices. His current research interests include Fourier ptychography, coded ptychography, high-throughput imaging technologies, super-resolution imaging, and the development of optofluidics and chip-scale imaging solutions.

Dr. Zheng earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Caltech in 2008 and 2013 respectively. He is the recipient of the Lemelson-MIT Caltech Student Prize in 2011 for developing chip-scale microscopy solutions. He was awarded the Caltech Demetriades Thesis Prize in 2013 for his development of the Fourier ptychography technology.

Dr. Zheng’s research has resulted in one book on Fourier ptychography (IOP Press), more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, and 20 issued/pending patents, 4 of which have been extensively reported and highlighted by national media agencies. The Fourier ptychography technology has also become one sub-chapter in Professor Joseph W. Goodman’s classic textbook Introduction to Fourier Optics (4th edition).

Dr. Zheng serves as the faculty advisor for the Optica, SPIE, and Engineering World Health UConn chapter. He also serves as the Associate Editor of Biomedical Optics Express.
