Mankei TSANG

Mankei TSANG is an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS), with a joint appointment in the Department of Physics. He received his PhD from the California Institute of Technology in 2006 and was awarded NRF Fellowship in 2011. His research is centered around quantum measurement theory and its applications to sensing problems.

His research interests primarily focus on quantum metrology, quantum optics, and superresolution imaging. His group is best known for pioneering quantum-inspired superresolution techniques for incoherent imaging, which have significant implications for optical imaging, interferometry, spectroscopy, magnetometry, optomechanical sensing, and gravitational-wave detection. The group's theoretical framework has been widely adopted and expanded upon by researchers worldwide.

The publication record shows a consistent focus on quantum limits to measurement precision, with particular emphasis on overcoming the Rayleigh criterion in optical imaging. His most recent work extends into quantum thermodynamics with the development of Quantum Onsager relations, demonstrating the breadth of his theoretical contributions. His publications span leading journals including Physical Review X, Physical Review A, Quantum, Optica, and Contemporary Physics.

• NRF Fellow (Class of 2011)

As a principal investigator, Professor Tsang has advised numerous PhD and Master's students and supervised multiple postdoctoral researchers. His research group maintains active collaborations with researchers across various institutions, particularly in quantum information and optical physics. The group's work bridges theoretical quantum measurement theory with practical applications in imaging and sensing technologies.
