Abstract of Research / Brief Description of Your Current Research Interest (max. 200 words)

My research focuses on nanofabrication technology and its potential applications across diverse scientific disciplines, including biology and astronomy. By leveraging advanced nanofabrication techniques, I aim to develop innovative solutions that can contribute to fields ranging from molecular biology to observational astronomy.

For instance, precisely engineered nanostructures could enable more efficient manipulation and analysis of biomolecules, leading to breakthroughs in medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Also, I am particularly interested in the fabrication of metalenses—nanostructured optical elements that can revolutionize imaging technologies. These metalenses have the potential to enhance optical systems used in astronomy by offering compact, high-performance alternatives to conventional lenses.

By integrating nanofabrication with various scientific domains, I hope to contribute to interdisciplinary advancements that push the boundaries of technology and discovery. The opportunity to discuss and collaborate with fellow researchers at the Hong Kong Laureate Forum would be invaluable in refining my ideas and broadening my perspective. I am excited to explore the potential impact of nanotechnology in shaping the future of science and innovation.
