Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record appears to combine work from multiple distinct research areas, including quantum key distribution, optical imaging and microscopy techniques (such as expansion microscopy and deep-tissue imaging), freeform and metasurface optics for telescopes and LiDAR, and soft-matter physics involving microgels, polyelectrolyte solutions, and optical tweezers. Because the listed topics and publications span such varied subfields, this may reflect a common author name shared by multiple researchers rather than a single coherent research program. Prospective students should verify which specific papers and topics belong to the particular 'Chi Zhang' they are interested in before drawing conclusions about research focus.

Publication output grew substantially from 2017 to a peak around 2023, then has remained fairly high through 2025-2026, suggesting an active and possibly still-growing publication record, though this may reflect merged records from multiple individuals.
