Tanchao Pu

Dr. Tanchao Pu is a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), focusing on artificial intelligence applications in nanophotonics and advanced optical microscopy. He holds a BS in Electronics from Beijing JiaoTong University (2015) and a PhD in Microelectronics from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (2022). His research interests include imaging/microscopy, computer vision, and optical superoscillation. Pu has contributed to pioneering work in deeply subwavelength optical metrology, non-contact nanoparticle analysis, and AI-driven grating design. He has co-authored over 20 peer-reviewed articles and serves as an invited reviewer for journals like Applied Physics Letters and APL Photonics. His work bridges nanophotonics with machine learning, aiming to push optical imaging and metrology beyond traditional resolution limits.
