Zeng Shaoqun

Dr. Zeng Shaoqun, Biomedical Photonics distinguished professor of “Chang Jiang Scholars Program” of the Ministry of Education of China (2007), is a professor and doctoral supervisor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Deputy Director of Britton Chance Research Center for Biomedical Photonics, Leader of Preparatory Team of the Key Laboratory of Biomedical Photonics of Ministry of Education, China and the associate dean of School of Life Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

He got BS and PhD degrees in Physical Electronics from Huazhong University of Science & Technology in 1990 and 1996 respectively, stayed on in the university as a teacher in April, 1996. He conducted the cooperative research in University of Pennsylvania from October, 1997 to February, 1998 and visited Yale University and researched there many times from July, 2002 to June, 2005. Since working, he mainly studied technologies such as femtosecond laser biomedical imaging, new technologies and new methods in high resolution optical functional imaging of protein and biotechnology information. In recent years, he has successfully presided over and accomplished 2 projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China and 1 National “863” Program. His achievement of the femtosecond laser biomedical imaging was elected as one of “Major Achievements in Optics of China 2007”, the femtosecond laser random scan microscopic imaging system invented by him has improved the observation rate by 2 orders of magnitude applied by such well-known academic institutions as Yale University and his Research & Survey Report has been published by the first class periodical of neurosciencesNeuron. He has been authorized with 8 Chinese Patents and additionally has 9 Chinese Patents, 1 US Patent and 1 international PCT patent that have been reviewed. He won 1 first prize of Prize of Hubei Province  for Natural Science in 2007 (ranking the third), 1 first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award of Hubei Province in 2006 (ranking the fifth) and 1 second prize of Prize of Hubei Province for Natural Science in 2003 (ranking the second) and has published more than 90 academic papers about optical microscopic imaging and the new methods and instruments of protein functional imagining, among which more than 60 academic papers have been collected by SCI, including the first class periodicals of optics, instruments and Neuroscience, such as Optics Letters, Review of Scientific Instruments and Neuron.

He was selected as one of the Key Members of the Outstanding Young Teachers (2002), one of the New Century Excellent Talents in University by the Ministry of Education (2006) and one of the Excellent Science and Technology Workers of Wuhan City (2007) successively. He is also the member of Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and Chinese Optical Society, a senior member of the Chinese Institute of Electronics and an editorial board member of ACTA LASER BIOLOGY SINICA. He was once the Chairmen of Organizing Committee of the fifth to seventh International Symposiums on Biomedical Optics (BiOS) (2006 – 2008, in Wuhan), served as a member of International Program Committee of the Special Session on BIOS-Optical Diagnostics & Sensing of SPE Photonics West for many times and serves as reviewers of international journals, such as Optics Letters, Optics Express, Journal of Biomedical Optics, Applied Optics, IEEE Sensors and Journal of X-ray Science & Technology.
