Dr. Zhiqiang Xu is an Associate Professor at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences. He earned his Ph.D. in Information and Communication Engineering from Wuhan University of Technology in 2020, with research training at the University of Virginia (2018–2019). His research focuses on multiscale high-speed optoacoustic microscopy, developing switchable-resolution systems (4.9–114.5 μm lateral resolution) and real-time volumetric imaging frameworks for clinical applications such as tumor boundary delineation. Dr. Xu has published 4 first/corresponding-author SCI papers (e.g., in Optics Letters) and 3 conference papers, alongside contributions to 2 pending patents in adaptive imaging systems. Since joining SIAT in July 2020, he has led advancements in rapid computational reconstruction algorithms and optoacoustic hardware design, enhancing dynamic visualization of biological processes.
