Expertise:
Prof Gu is Director of the Centre for Micro-Photonics (www.swin.edu.au/optics/cmp), at the Swinburne University of Technology. In this role he leads a major program in Micro-Photonics, with research activities in biophotonics, photonic data storage and devices and nanophotonics. Current projects include imaging through tissue-like media, three-dimensional high-density optical storage, novel near-field microscopy based on laser trapping, two-photon microscopy for biomedical and industry applications. Prior to joining Swinburne he was group leader of Optoelectronic Imaging at Victoria University where he successfully established the Optoelectronic Imaging Group (OIG) and established programs in two-photon microscopy, three-dimensional optical storage, imaging through tissue, near-field optics and laser trapping. Dr Gu has been an active researcher in confocal scanning optical microscopy, three-dimensional image reconstruction, optical microscopy with ultrashort pulsed beams, nonlinear optics under femtosecond pulse illumination, and nonlinear dynamics in plasma physics.
