Research summary
AI-generated

This record appears to combine work from more than one researcher sharing the name Chi Zhang, spanning photonics/optical engineering (fiber lasers, optical frequency combs, electro-optic modulators, metalenses, terahertz spectroscopy) as well as separate topics in renewable energy systems and medical imaging (MRI reconstruction). The photonics-related work focuses on building and characterizing devices for high-speed optical communication, precision distance/spectroscopy measurement, and compact photonic chips. Prospective students should verify which specific lab or subfield the advisor works in, since the publication list spans distinct disciplines.
