Metamaterials for Manipulation of Thermal Radiation and Photoluminescence in Near and Far Fields

Dr. Yinhui Kan is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie research fellow at University of Southern Denmark (SDU), with a background in nanoscale engineering, photonics, optics, and thermal science. He received his Ph.D., summa cum laude, in 2021 from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Kan's research interests include micro-/nano-optics, metasurfaces, quantum photonics, and near-field thermal radiation. More than 10 papers (first authored) have been published on peer-reviewed journals, such as Advanced Materials, ACS Photonics, Advanced Optical Materials, and Physical Review B. One of his works about metasurface-enabled generation of circularly polarized single photons has been reported and highlighted by Nature Review Physics.
