As a recent PhD graduate (2024) transitioning to postdoctoral work, Dr. Sui has not yet established independent advising relationships. His doctoral project "Multifunctional fiber-based neural devices" (2020-2024) was supervised by Prof. Christos Markos and garnered attention from four news outlets, indicating significant research impact despite no explicit grant details being provided.

Dr. Sui operates within Prof. Christos Markos' research group at DTU, contributing to the Neural Devices & Gas Photonics team that pioneers optical fiber technologies for biomedical applications. His current work extends the group's focus on thermally drawn fibers and multimaterial interfaces for advanced neural interrogation systems.
