Dan Zhu received her B.S. degree in physics from Hubei University (1986), M.S. degree in physical electronics from Central China Normal University (1992), and Ph.D. degree in physical electronics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), in 2001. After two years postdoctoral training at HUST, she joined as an Associate Professor in 2003 and a full Professor in 2007 in Biomedical Engineering with HUST. Currently, she is full Professor and Deputy Director of Division of Biomedical Photonics, Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics. She has authored more than 100 papers in the field of tissue optics, optical diagnosis and therapy principle and techniques. During the recent years, she has been focusing on optical clearing of tissue in vivo for improving optical imaging. She also severs as the Secretary General of Biomedical Photonics Committee of Chinese Optical Society, and a member of SPIE and OSA. She is editor member of Scientific Reports, Journal of Innovative Optical Health Science.
Shaoqun Zeng received his B.E. degree in optoelectronic engineering (1990), and Ph.D. degree in optoelectronics (1996) from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, China. Currently he is a Changjiang Professor of Britton Chance Center for Biomedical photonics, Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics. He is also a faculty member of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, HUST. He is also the Deputy Director for Research, Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics. His research interests include biomedical photonics, which involves developing novel optical principles and systems to explore the structure and functions of the neuronal networks, particular aims to improve the spatio-temporal resolution and throughput of optical imaging. For this purpose, he has investigated the basic physics of femtosecond laser pulse propagation, devices and multi-photon microscope systems to realize inertia-free beam scanning, signal processing techniques to record and recover action potential from Calcium fluorescence with single spike resolution, and thus initiate new applications in exploring the connections and functions of neuronal circuits. He has published around 90 papers, and hold more than 50 patents. He is a member of SPIE, OSA.
Valery V. Tuchin received his M.S. degree in radio-physics and electronics (1966), Ph.D. degree in optics (1974), and Dr.Sc. degree in laser physics (1982) from Saratov State University, Saratov, Russia. Currently he is a Professor and holds the Chair of Optics and Biophotonics of Saratov State University. He is also a Director of the Research-Educational Institute of Optics and Biophotonics at Saratov State University and Head of Laboratory on Laser Diagnostics of Technical and Living Systems, Institute of Precise Mechanics and Control, RAS. His research interests include biophotonics, tissue optics, laser medicine, tissue optical clearing, and nanobiophotonics. He has authored more than 350 peer-reviewed papers, handbooks, monographs, text-books, tutorials, and book chapters, holder of more than 50 patents. He is a member of SPIE, OSA, and IEEE. He is a fellow of SPIE and has been awarded Honored Science Worker of the Russia (1999), SPIE Educator Award (2007), FiDiPro (Finland) (2011), and Chime Bell Prize of Hubei Province, China (2014). He is Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Biomedical Photonics & Engineering and Associated Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Innovative Optical Health Science.
