معرفی
Dr. Junliang Dong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Arkansas, College of Engineering, where he joined as a tenure-track faculty member in Fall 2024. His research bridges fundamental science with practical applications in terahertz (THz) radiation technology.
Dr. Dong's educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
- M.Sc. in Control Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University, China
His research spans multiple disciplines with particular focus on THz imaging and sensing, THz communications, and THz biophotonics. He has authored approximately 30 peer-reviewed journal articles and 40 conference papers, and holds 5 patents. His work has been featured in Optics & Photonics News (cover feature), The New York Times, American Scientist, Phys.org, and Science Daily.
Dr. Dong's publications reveal a strong emphasis on advancing terahertz imaging capabilities, particularly for non-transparent media and cultural heritage applications. His research demonstrates innovative approaches to single-shot ultrafast terahertz photography, metal-wire waveguide technology, and applications spanning from art conservation to biomedical imaging.
His notable achievements include:
- Swiss THz Prize at IRMMW-THz 2023
- Mitacs Elevate Fellowship
As an educator, Dr. Dong teaches Electromagnetics (ELEG 37004), Introduction to Terahertz Technology and Applications (ELEG 4870V/5870V), and Introduction to Antennas (ELEG 47803/57803). His research group focuses on computational THz imaging, photonic-inspired devices for THz communications, THz biophotonics, and ubiquitous THz applications across aerospace, automotive, marine, and energy sectors, as well as in art conservation and archaeology.
