Feng Gao

Dr. Feng Gao is a Reader in the Department of Engineering at the University of Huddersfield's School of Computing and Engineering. With a background in precision measurement and instrumentation from Tianjin University, he previously worked at the National Institute of Metrology in Beijing and Physikalisch-Techniche-Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Germany.

Gao's research expertise spans optical metrology, instrument development, and interferometric techniques. His work focuses on advanced 3D measurement systems including fringe projection profilometry, phase measuring deflectometry, and chromatic confocal sensing. Current projects investigate deep learning-enhanced optical measurement, ultra-compact metasurface sensors, and high-precision interferometry.

As a member of the Centre for Precision Technologies, Gao contributes to the EPSRC Future Metrology Hub. He regularly presents research at international conferences and has published extensively in optics and measurement journals.
