Education

Ph.D., Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Experience

Dr. Yao joined the Faculty of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UAB in 2007. He worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory as a Postdoctoral Researcher (2001-2004) and Technical Staff Member (2004-2006), and served the CFD Research Corporation as a Senior Research Scientist (2006-2007).

Research Interests

My research interests include biomedical optics instrumentation, optical imaging of retinal function, and biophysical study of neural physiology. More about my laboratory research.
