Yide Zhang
Yide Zhang joined the Caltech Optical Imaging Laboratory as a postdoctoral scholar in September 2019. He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame in 2019. With his interdisciplinary background, engineering skills, and expertise in imaging, Yide aims to develop next-generation photoacoustic and ultrafast imaging techniques that can observe biological and physical phenomena that are too fast to be imaged with existing methods.
