Greetings! I'm a 4th year Ph.D. student under the supervision of
Prof. Shin-Tson Wu
at CREOL, University of Central Florida.
My current research interests include liquid crystal spatial light modulators for LiDAR applications,
planar optics for AR/VR display systems, and miniLED and micro-LED for AR/VR light engines.
