Dr. Yanmin ZHU

Electrical and Electronic Engineer

Dr. Zhu works for developing innovative intelligent holographic imaging systems for the contributions of environmental, health, and urban sustainability. Her work makes a significant impact on the scientific community and society by driving innovation. For example, such systems are applied in microplastic pollutant monitoring, toxicity assessment, ocean and urban climate cycling investigation. Specifically, she pioneered a polarization holography, as a physical fingerprint, with edge intelligence to innovatively analyze the composition of the material in dichroism, polarization rotation, spatial coherence, surface roughness and scattering. The advanced technology is integrated with the portable lightweight device in support of field investigation.
