معرفی
Sanli Faez is an Associate Professor in the Nanophotonics section of the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science at Utrecht University's Faculty of Science. His research focuses on non-conventional methods of imaging in scattering materials by integrating concepts from space-time wavefront shaping, compressive sensing, adaptive optics, and optical metrology. He serves as the principal investigator for the nano-EPics research team and contributes to the Pathways to Sustainability initiative with a focus on Energy in Transition.
Dr. Faez is actively involved in several important scientific initiatives, including serving as the Open Science Lead at the Dutch Climate Research Initiative (KIN), being a founding member of Lili's Proto Lab, and acting as an editor for HardwareX journal. He is also a board member of The Young Academy of KNAW and participates in the Center for Unusual Collaborations.
