Research summary
AI-generated

Meng Cui's work centers on developing advanced optical imaging and photonic tools—such as multiphoton microscopy, wavefront shaping, and micro-fabricated ultrasound transducers—to study brain structure and activity in living animals, especially at large scales and depths. Much of the research combines engineering of imaging hardware (lenses, transducers, optical access devices) with applications in neuroscience, including brain imaging, neural stimulation, and combined imaging/fMRI approaches. The publication record also includes some more tangential entries in unrelated engineering and materials topics, suggesting a broad or possibly mixed author identity in the underlying data.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, rising to a peak around 2021, dipping in 2022–2023, and then increasing again in 2025, without a clear steady long-term trend.
