Hui Wang
obtained her bachelor degree in Measurement, Control Technology and Instruments at the Department of Precision Instruments at Tsinghua University in China in 2019. Afterwards she pursued a master’s degree in Photonics at Friedrich Schiller University Jena in Germany. She gained experience of fiber-assisted imaging systems during her master study and her Master thesis’ topic is Evaluation of suspended-core fibers for nanoparticle tracking analysis. After her graduation, she joined Prof. Iman Esmaeil Zadeh’s group as a PhD candidate from September, 2022.
Her primary research interests are the design and characterization of multipixel superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). As a promising technique to sense a single photon, SNSPDs have seen an increasing demand in recent times in various applications such as optical communication. Unfortunately, the size limitation of a single-pixel SNSPD increases the complexity and constricts the maximum detection count rate in actual systems. Thus, she will explore the potential of SNSPD to expand the active area while maintaining high detection efficiency by combining multiple SNSPDs on one chip. This research topic is sponsored by the FREE consortium, a TTW Perspectief program.
