In the invitation of Professor Gu Min, Professor Martin Booth from University of Oxford paid a visit to USST and delivered a talk for the faculty and students on August 10. Professor Ding Xiaodong, USST President and Professor Gu Min received Professor Booth.
President Ding extended warm welcome to Professor Booth and g**e an introduction about the university history and strong disciplines. With a history of almost 120 years, USST features a strong fl**or of internationalization originating from the University of Shanghai. All these years, USST has made some eyeball-catching achievements in the field of education globalization. By carrying out the academic exchanges, we can develop collaboration and strengthen ties in related fields. Professor Martin Booth briefly introduced the discipline of Engineer Science of University of Oxford and the research of his team. Both parties also discussed on the possibility of an initiative collaboration on the teaching course of Gezhi Innovation Class to be launched by Institute of Photonic Chips of USST.
After the meeting, Professor Martin Booth delivered a lecture titled as “Adaptive optics for high-resolution microscopy and photonic engineering” in the Photonics Perspective Forum. The lecture elaborated his team’s recent work on using dynamic optical elements, such as deformable mirrors and spatial light modulators, to increase the capabilities of laser micro fabrication and optical microscopy. In particular, it is shown how adaptive aberration correction and dynamic parallelisation can improve precision and reliability and increase the accessible volume and speed of these systems, etc. Some students from Nanjing University and Macau University h**e also attended this lecture either online or onsite.
Prof Booth is Professor of Optical and Photonic Engineering at the University of Oxford. His research involves the development and application of adaptive optical methods in microscopy, laser-based materials processing and biomedical imaging. In particular, his group h**e developed numerous implementations of adaptive optics for aberration correction in high and super resolution microscopes. He has held Royal Academy of Engineering and EPSRC Research Fellowships and in 2016 received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. He was appointed Professor of Engineering Science in 2014 and Chair in Optics and Photonics in 2023. In 2014 he was awarded the International Commission for Optics Prize. He is a fellow of SPIE, Optica, and the Institute of Physics. He has over 180 publications in peer-reviewed journals, over twenty-five patents, and has co-founded two spin-off companies, Aurox Ltd and Opsydia Ltd.
